How Far to Little Rock Lyrics

 

Hello stranger

Why hello there stranger

Ah could you tell me how far

It is to Little Rock

Well no sir I couldn't buddy

But they's a devil of a big'n down

Here in Pap's old field

Hello stranger

Why hello again stranger

Your corn looks awful little and yellow

Ah I planted the little yellow kind this year

Well you must not be figuring

On much more than half a crop are ya

That's exactly right

I'm raisin' on the shares 50 50

You couldn't be very far from a fool

Couldn't be what

Very far from a fool

That's right son just

This microphone here between us

Hello stranger

Why hello there stranger

How did your potatoes turn out

Son you'll have to speak a little louder

I don't hear too well out of this left ear

I said how did your taters turn out

Oh my taters They didn't turn out

A'tall the old sow rooted them out

Hello stranger

Hello there stranger

Would you head that cow there for me

Buddy she's got a head

Well turn her then

The hairy side's turned out

Well would you speak to her

Good morning old heifer

Hello stranger

Why hello there stranger

Why don't you cover your house

Well when it's raining I can't buddy

And when the sun is shining it don't leak

Hello stranger

Hello there stranger

How far did you say it was to Little Rock

Buddy ain't you found out how far it is yet

I can't I can't find out a'tall

Well I'm sure glad to tell you buddy

It's three lengths of a fool

If you don't believe it lay down

 

And measure it sometime
