Arkansas Traveler - Countdown Kids

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

It 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

Now the stranger said 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

The traveler replied

That's all quite true

But here's the thing I think that you should do

Get busy on a day that is clear and bright

And patch the old roof till it's good and tight

But the old man kept on a playing at his reel

And tapped the ground with his leathery heel

Get along said he for you give me a pain

My cabin never leaks when it doesn't rain
