Arkansas

from the beginning by David Burchfield

lyrics

When the spring came to the hi - lls
Where my father’s family’s from
We were swallowed in the green and
blue
Way down in Arkansas

My grandmother and her sister
Helped me trace back to my roots
At the end of a long branch there hangs
The love I have for you

And I recognized their beauty
And the measure of their strength
In each wrinkle in their fair old skin
And the features of your face

And each new branch comes from somewhere
And each tree grows from the earth
And each story that is ever told
Reflects one from before
