Arkansas Grass Lyrics

Oooh-hooo-oo
Oooh-hooo-oo

If General MacAllister gave up the wars,
And all of the people went back to their chores,
The all the King's horses and all the King's men could go home,

If all of the people were on the same side,
There'd be no need to run, there'd be no need to hide,
and all of us here in our grey tattered coats could go home,

If you'd just listen sir once again,
To the reasons of one of your men,
If you make all these things come to pass,
then I could lay on Arkansas grass,
Home, Home, goin' along to the sound of the military brass
Home, home, lovers alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
Once again-

Oooh-hooo-oo
Oooh-hooo-oo

So gaily we marched with the Grey and Red, To lick'em first time like the good General said,
With nary a thought that a so very few would go home,

If it weren't so wrong for a soldier like me,
To throw down his gun and to run to be free,
Then all of us here with the fear in our eyes would go home,

If you'd just listen sir once again,
To the reasons of one of your men,
If you make all these things come to pass,
' I could lay on Arkansas grass,
Home, Home, goin' along to the sound of the military brass
Home, home, lovers alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
Once again-

Layin' on Arkansas grass (x7)
Home, home, lovers alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
