[A] [D] Where the Arkansas River
[G] leaves [D] Oklahoma It runs free and rambles muddy [A] and wild
Where [D] the Arkansas River [G] leaves [D] Oklahoma It's gone forever [A] and never [D] looks back
I met her in Stillwell, [G] she'd just turned [D] twenty A spirited beauty like I've [A] never known
And
[D] me a dirt farmer [G] who lived by [D] the river But she said she loved me [A] and the free life [D] I own
We married in April [G] and lived [D] by the river We worked that land from spring [A] till the fall
But [D] I guess when the winter
[G] howled at [D] our window She couldn't help hearing that [A] wild [D] river call
Where the Arkansas River [G] leaves [D] Oklahoma It runs free and rambles muddy [A] and wild
Where [D] the Arkansas River [G] leaves [D] Oklahoma It's gone forever [A] and never looks [D] back
[A]
[D] She tried to conquer [G] that wild rage [D] within her But something too strong ran deep [A] in her soul
But [D] I know she loved me, [G] she cried [D] like a baby That cold winter evening [A] she answered [D] the call
Where the Arkansas River
[G] leaves [D] Oklahoma It runs free and rambles muddy and [A] wild
