Don Williams - Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma Chords

Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
By Don Williams

Chorus:
          C              F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
   C                               G
It Runs Free And Rambles Muddy And Wide
          C              F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
C                     G           C
It's Gone Forever And Never Looks Back


  F                    F               C
I Met Her In Stillwell She Just Turned Twenty
  C                               G
A Spirited Beauty Like I've Never Known
    C                    F            C
And Me A Dirt Farmer Who Lived By The River
    C                             G           C
But She Said She Loved Me And The Free Life I 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
