Arkansas Traveller Lyrics by Jerry Garcia, David Grisman

Not for Kids Only

1993

[David Grisman & Jerry Garcia]
Hello stranger
Hello there stranger
Does this, road go all the way to Little Rock?
I've been standing here all day
And it hasn't gone nowhere yet
Hello stranger
Hello again stranger
Your corn looks awful little and yeller
I planted the little yeller kind
Hello stranger
Well, hi there stranger
I don't believe that you're too far from a fool, are you?
Believe what?
I said I don't believe you're very far from a fool
No, that's right, son
Just this guitar and mandolin here between us
Hello stranger
Well, hiya stranger
How'd your potatoes turn out?
They didn't turn out at all
I had to dig them out
Hello stranger
Well, hello stranger
Can't you see that your roof is leaking?
Why don't you fix it?
Well, right now it's rainin' too hard
And when the suns a-shinin', why, it don't leak
Hello stranger
Well, hello there stranger
Have you lived here all your life?
Not yet
Hello stranger
Hello again there, stranger
You're not very smart, are you?
No, but I ain't lost
