Harrison Town

Cat. #0316 (MFH #249) - As sung by Fred High, High, Arkansas on February 11, 1959

VERSE 1
I'll skip out an' hear them shout
An' be in Arkansas
I rode down to Harrison
In a couple of days or so

VERSE 2
I turned my eyes west, t'ward Eureky I did go
Th crowd, they followed me on t'ward Eureky
An' told me to hush my jaw
Or I should lie in th Berryville jail
Carroll County, Arkansas

VERSE 3
They captured me on Kings river
I might have killed th crowd
If it had'nt been for th shackle and chains
That rang so clear and loud

VERSE 4
Now, they'll take me back to ole Berryville
Go through a course of law
Then, I'll take a ride by th marshalls side
To Little Rock, Arkansas
