Goodbye, Betty Brown
Farewell, Ole Joe Clark
I’m goin’ to leave this town.
I went down to Dina’s house,
She met me at the door,
Shoes and stockings in her hand,
Feet all over the floor.
I would not marry an old maid,
I’ll tell you the reason why,
Her nose is always drippin
Her chin is never dry.
I went down to Joe Clark’s house,
I had never been there before,
He slept on the old straw bed
And I slept on the floor.
I asked my girl to marry me,
And what do you suppose she said?
There’s plenty of time to marry you
When all the rest is dead.
I wish I had a nickle,
I wish I had a dime.
I wish I had a pretty little miss
To kiss and call her mine.
Somebody stole my ole coon dog.
I wish they’d bring him back.
He run the big nigger over the fence
And the little ‘un through the crack.
Somebody stole my ole blue hen.
I wish they’d a let her be.
She laid two eggs on every day
And Sunday she laid three.

My name is Sanford Barney,
I came from Little Rock town.
I've traveled this wide world over
I've traveled this wide world around,
I've had many ups and downs,
Through life better days I've saw,
But I never knew what misery was
Till I came to Arkansas.
'Twas in the year of eighty two,
In the merry month of June,
I landed at Hot Springs
One sultry afternoon,
there came a walking skeleton
And gave to me his paw,
Invited me to his home one day, -
'Twas the best in Arkansas.
I followed my conductor
Into his dwelling place.
It was starvation and poverty
Pictured on his face.
His bread it was corn dodgers,
His beef I could not chaw,
He charged me fifty cents a meal
In the State of Arkansas.
I started back next morning
To catch the early train,
He said: ""Young man, you'd better work for me,
I have some land to drain,
I'll give you fifty cents a day,
Your washing and old chaw,
You'll feel like quite a different man
When you leave old Arkansas.""
I worked for the gentleman three weeks,
Jess Hatter was his name,
Six feet seven inches in his stocking feet,
And slim as any crane,
His hair hung down like ringlets
Beside his slackened jaw,
He was the photograph of all the gents
That was raised in Arkansas.
His bread it was corn dodgers,
As hard as any rock,
It made my teeth begin to loosen,
My knees begin to rock,
Got so thin on sage and sasafras tea,
I could hide behind a straw--
I am sure I was quite like a different man
When I left old Arkansas. ",,"Arkansas,Arkansas Traveler,Arkansaw Traveler,Hot Springs,Little Rock,songs and music poverty",https://omeka.library.appstate.edu/files/original/352541f89a124631ce1b4fc06d7573df.pdf,"Greer Document","I.G. Greer Folksong Collection",1,0

And likewise darling wife.
I know she never will forget me
In the last days of her life,
She put her little hand in mine
And tried to bite my jaw,
She said Mr. Barnes remember me
