WHERE THE ARKANSAS RIVER LEAVES OKLAHOMA
DON WILLIAMS
WAYLON HOLYFIELD

CHORUS
WHERE THE ARKANSAS RIVER LEAVES OKLAHOMA
It runs free and rambles, muddy and wide
WHERE THE ARKANSAS RIVER LEAVES OKLAHOMA
It's gone forever and never looks back.

I met her in Stillwell, she'd just turned twenty
A spirited beauty like I'd never known
And me a dirt farmer, who lived by the river
But she said she loved me and the free life I owned.

We married in April and we lived by the river
We worked that land from Spring thru the Fall
But I guess when the Winter howled at our window
She couldn't help hearin' that wild river call.

CHORUS

She tried to conquer that wild rage within her
But something too strong, ran deep in her soul
But I know she loved me, she cried like a baby
That cold Winter morning she answered the call.

CHORUS
