     G#
Some men were born in poverty
some were born with wealth
I was born a lovin' man and
I just can't help myself
     C#
The women have all made over
this old boy ever since I was born
G#
That's why these old Arkansas
travelin' shoes are so well worn
D#
I've made quite a name for myself
the girls know who I am
      G#              C#
I'm a natural actual real
            D#               G#
authentical Arkansas lovin' man
      G#
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

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
