Version One My name is Charlie Brennan, from Charlestown I come I've traveled this wide world over, some ups and downs I've had I've traveled this wide world over, some ups and downs I saw But I never knew what mis'ry was till I hit old Arkansas I landed in St. Louis with ten dollars and no more I read the daily papers till both my eyes were sore I read them evening papers, until at last I saw Ten thousand men were wanted in the State of Arkansas I wiped my eyes with great surprise when I read this happy news And straight off I went to see the agent, Billy Hughes He said "Pitch me five dollars, and a ticket you shall draw To ride upon the railroad to the State of Arkansas" I started off next morning at a quarter after five I started from St. Louis, half dead and half alive I bought me a quart of whiskey, my misery to thaw And I got drunk as a boiled owl when I left for Arkansas 'Twas in the year of '82 in the merry month of June I landed in Ft. Smith on a sultry afternoon The air so hot and dusty, my breath I could not draw But I got off to see what was in the state of Arkansas I dodged behind the depot, to duck the oven wind There I met a walking skeleton, his name was James T. Glynn His hair hung down in rat-tails o'er his long and lantern jaw Invited me to his hotel, "the best in Arkansas" I followed my conductor into his dwelling place There mis'ry and starvation could be seen in ev'ry face His bread it was corn dodger, his meat I could not chaw But he charged me a half a dollar in the State of Arkansas I started off next morning, in a hard and driving rain He says to me, "If you will work, I have some land to drain I'll pay you fifty cents a day, your board and wash and all You'll find yourself a different man when you leave old Arkansas" He fed me on corn dodgers, as hard as any rock Till my teeth began to loosen and my knees began to knock I grew so thin on sassafras tea, I could hide behind a straw And, indeed I was a different man when I left old Arkansas So farewell to swamp-angels, to canebrakes and fever chills Farewell to sage and sassafras and corn-dodger pills If I ever see this land again, I'll give to you my paw But it'll be through a telescope, from Hell to Arkansas
