[00:20.75] My name is John Johanna;
[00:23.25] I came from Buffalo town
[00:26.10] For nine long years I've traveled
[00:28.09] this wide, wide world around
[00:30.76] Through ups and downs and miseries,
[00:33.03] and some good days I saw
[00:35.61] But I never knew what misery was '
[00:38.02] til I went to Arkansas
[00:40.66] I went up to the station,
[00:42.76] the operator to find
[00:45.24] Told him my situation
[00:47.57] and where I wanted to ride
[00:50.02] Said, "Hand me down five dollars, lad;
[00:52.51] A ticket you shall draw
[00:54.84] That'll land you safe by railway
[00:57.15] in the state of Arkansas"
[00:59.72] I rode up to the station
[01:01.95] and chanced to meet a friend
[01:04.47] Alan Catcher was his name
[01:06.58] although they called him Cain
[01:09.06] His hair hung down in rat tails
[01:11.43] below his under-jaw
[01:13.78] He said he run the best hotel
[01:16.28] in the state of Arkansas
[01:18.61] I followed my companion
[01:20.79] to his respective place
[01:23.39] Saw pity and starvation
[01:25.77] was pictured on his face
[01:27.93] His bread was old corn dodgers;
[01:30.43] His beef I could not chaw
[01:32.90] He charged me fifty cents a day
[01:35.22] in the state of Arkansas
[01:56.45] I got up that next morning
[01:58.65] to catch that early train
[02:00.97] He says, "Don't be in a hurry, lad;
[02:03.42] I have some land to drain
[02:05.87] You'll get your fifty cents a day
[02:08.11] and all that you can chaw
[02:10.49] You'll find yourself a different lad
[02:12.85] when you leave old Arkansas"
[02:15.15] I worked six weeks for the son of a gun;
[02:17.48] Alan Catcher was his name
[02:19.76] He stood seven feet two inches,
[02:22.01] as tall as any crane
[02:24.47] I got so thin on sassafras tea,
[02:26.91] I could hide behind a straw
[02:28.95] You bet I was a different lad
[02:31.36] when I left old Arkansas
[02:33.99] Farewell, you old swamp rabbits,
[02:36.09] also you dodger pills
[02:38.44] Likewise you walking skeletons,
[02:40.82] you old sassafras eels
[02:43.31] If you ever see my face again,
[02:45.57] I'd hand you down my paw
[02:47.90] I'd be looking through a telescope
[02:50.06] from home to Arkansas
[02:51.91]
