Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
By Don Williams
Chorus:
Where The [C]Arkansas River [F]Leaves Oklahoma
It [C]Runs Free And Rambles Muddy And [G]Wide
Where The [C]Arkansas River [F]Leaves Oklahoma
[C]It's Gone Forever And [G]Never Looks [C]Back
I [F]Met Her In Stillwell [F]She Just Turned [C]Twenty
A [C]Spirited Beauty Like I've Never [G]Known
And [C]Me A Dirt Farmer Who [F]Lived By The [C]River
But [C]She Said She Loved Me And The [G]Free Life I [C]Owned
We Married In April And Lived By The River
We Worked That Land From Spring Till The Fall
But I Guess When The Winter Howled At Our Window
She Couldn't Help Hearing That Wild River Call
Chorus
She Tried To Conquer That Wild Rage With-in Her
But Something Too Strong Ran Deep In Her Soul
But I Know She Loved Me She Cried Like A Baby
That Cold Winter Evening She Answered The Call
