Far and far down Arkansas   There lived a squatter with a stubborn jaw   His nose was droopy red and his whiskers grey   He could fiddle all the night and all the day   Came a traveler down the road   Ask if he could find an in   Can I find an in   Come on can I find an in   Far far down Arkansas   Here comes a government man   Talkin' to my pa   He told 'em I gots to go to school   I got to learn to be a gosh durn fool   Far far down Arkansas   I was a squatter with a stubborn jaw   My nose is droopy red   And my whiskers grey   'Cause the magical mystery tour   Has taken me away   Taken me away   Far and far down Arkansas   I was my mother   And I was my pa   A gov'ment man and a-whiskey still too   And everywhere I'm a-lookin' at you   Far and far down Arkansas   Are you stubborn   Look at your drooping jaw   Look at your drooping jaw   Smile
