Arkansas Traveler

Arkansas Traveler - The Little Kidz Band

Oh once upon a time in Arkansas

An old man sat in his little cabin door

And fiddled at a tune

That he liked to hear

A jolly old tune that he played by ear

It was raining hard

But the fiddler didn't care

He sawed away at the popular air

Tho' his rooftree leaked

Like a waterfall

That didn't seem

To bother the man at all

A traveler was riding by that day

And stopped to hear

Him a-practicing away;

The cabin was a-float

And his feet were wet

But still the old man

Didn't seem to fret

So the stranger said

"Now the way it seems to me "

You'd better mend your roof "

Said he

But the old man said

As he played away

"I couldn't mend it now

It's a rainy day "
