[G] Now there was a boy in Arkansas [C] but he wouldn't listen to [D] his mom when she told him that he [G] ought to go to school
He'd sneak away in the afternoon [C] and he'd take a little walk and pretty [D] soon he'd find him at the local [G] auction bar
[C] He'd sit down and listen carefully [G] and pretty soon he began to [A] see how the auctioneer could talk so [D] rapidly
