Lyrics

Come all you men of Arkansas, a tale to you I'll sing Of Annie Breen, from old Kaintuck, who made the forest ring. A sweeter girl and sweeter voice, no man did ever know, And well she loved a straight-limbed lad whose name was Texas Joe. To meetin' she and Joey went, and oh, her eyes did shine To see him full of manly strength, so clear and tall and fine! To be his wife and helping hand she wanted as her fate, But sad the story that befell as now I will relate. One morn when birds were singin' an' the lilacs were abloom There came unto the little town and there he took a room A evil-hearted city man who said he'd made his stake, And then it was that the serpent in old Paradise did wake. At meetin' after prayers were said, sweet Ann sang clear and fine The stranger said upon his knees, "That girl she must be mine!" So arm in arm they both walked home and wandered up and down Which caused the neighbors, who loved Ann, to shake their heads and frown. He entered in and brought a stain on Annie Breen's fair life He told her that he loved the girl, would take her for his wife. When Joe got wind how matters stood, his heart was like a stone With ne'er a word of parting he went off to Texas alone. Before a year in a shallow grave lay Annie and her child, And when the tidings reached brave Joe's ears that lad went almost wild. He saddled up and cantered hard, and rode both long and fast And in Fort Smith he found the man who'd ruined Ann at last. Then words were spoke and shots were fired and Joe fell on the floor. He said, "In spite of all that's been I love my Ann the more." His face was white as driven snow, his breath came gasping low He said, "My soul is clean, and to my Maker it must go." Before he closed his dimming eye he said, "My work's not done And turning on his aching side he drew his faithful gun. You've done your mischief, stranger, but from life you've got to part His finger pressed the trigger, and he shot him through the heart. [instrumental output] [instrumental output]
