C                          F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
    C                               G7
It Runs Free And Rambles Muddy And Wide
             C              F
Where The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma
      C                 G7          C
It's Gone Forever And Never Looks Back

[Vs 1]
C                            F
I Met Her In Stillwell She Just Turned Twenty
     C                              G7
A Spirited Beauty Like I've Never Known
    C                      F
And Me A Dirt Farmer Who Lived By The River
     C                             G7           C
But She Said She Loved Me And The Free Life I Owned

[Vs 2]
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

Repeat Chorus ö Lead

[Vs 3]
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

Repeat Chorus add Tag:

Yes, Itâs Gone Forever And Never Looks Back
