Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma

It runs free and rambles muddy and wide

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma

It's gone forever and never looks back

I met her in Stillwell she just turned twenty

A spirited beauty like I've never known

And me a dirt farmer who lived by the river

But she said she loved me and the free life I owned

We married in April and lived by the river

We worked that land from spring 'til the fall

But I guess when the winter howled at our window

She couldn't help hearing that wild river call

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma

It runs free and rambles muddy and wide

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma

It's gone forever and never looks back

She tried to conquer that wild rage within 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

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma

It runs free and rambles muddy and wide

Where the Arkansas River leaves Oklahoma

It's gone forever and never looks back
