Oooh-hooo-oo
Oooh-hooo-oo
If General McAllister gave up all the wars,
And all the people went back to thier chores,
Then 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 and no need to hide,
Then 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,
You could make all these things come to pass,
Where I could lay on the Arkansas grass,
Home, Home goin' alone to the sound of the military brass
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 so very few would go home,
If weren't so wrong for a soldier like me,
To throw down his gun, to run to be free,
Then all of us here with the fear in our eyes could go home,
If you'd just listen sir once again,
To the reasons of one of your men,
You could make all these things come to pass,
Where I could lay on the Arkansas grass,
Home, Home, lovin' alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
Once again-
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Layin' on Arkansas grass
Home, Home, lovin' alone, layin' on Arkansas grass
Oooh-hooo-oo
