Some men were born in poverty some were born with wealth
I was born a lovin´ man and I just can´t help myself
The women have all made over this old boy ever since I was born

That´s why these old Arkansas travelin´ shoes are so well worn
I´ve made quite a name for myself the girls know who I am
I´m a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin´ man yes I am
Now in every little town that I´ve been in the story is the same
The girls all keep on a hangin´ around playin´ them lovin´ games
But sometimes I wish them women folks would leave this old boy alone
I´ve thought about catchin´ that next Greyhound back to my Arkansas home
But there ain´t no use in kiddin´ myself I like the way I am
I´m a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin´ man

Oh yes I am
Now you look here woman that look in your eyes says maybe you love me so
But if you turn loose of my coatail I´ll get my bedroll and go
Cause I ain´t nowhere near the kind of a fella that´ll settle down
I´ve got a natural talent for lovin´ and I´m gonna spred it around
If I ever come back your way again remember who I am
I´m a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin´ man
I´m a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin´ man yes I am
