[Verse 1]
     G
Some men were born in poverty some were born with wealth
G
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                D               G
I'm a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin' man
      G
Yes I am


[Verse 2]
       G
Now in every little town that I've been in the story is the same
    G
The girls all keep on a hangin' around playin' them lovin' games
    C
But sometimes I wish them women folks would leave this old boy alone
     G
I've thought about catchin' that next Greyhound back to my Arkansas home
    D
But there ain't no use in kiddin' myself I like the way I am
      G              C                D               G
I'm a natural actual real authentical Arkansas lovin' man

[Verse 3]
G
Now you look here woman that look in your eyes says maybe you love me so
    G
But if you turn loose of my coatail I'll get my bedroll and go
       C
'Cause I ain't nowhere near the kind of a fella that'll settle down
G
I've got a natural talent for lovin' and I'm gonna spred it around
     D
If I ever come back your way again remember who I am
      G              C                D               G
