Lyrics:

If General McAllister gave up the wars
And all of the people went back to their chores
And all the king's horses and all the king's men could go home
If all of the people were on the same side
There'd be no need to run
There'd be no need to hide
And all of us here in our grey tattered coats could go home
If you'd just listen sir once again
To the reasons of one of your men
If you'd make all these things come to pass
Then I could lay on Arkansas grass
Home, home, going alone
To the sound of the military brass
Home, home, lovers alone
Laying on Arkansas grass
Once again
So gaily we marched for the grey and the red
To lick 'em first time like the good general said
With nary a thought that so very few would go home
If it weren't so wrong for a soldier like me
To throw down his gun and run to be free
Then all of us here with the fear in our eyes would go home
If you'd just listen sir once again
To the reasons of one of your men
If you'd make all these things come to pass
I could lay on Arkansas grass
Home, home, going alone
To the sound of the military brass
Home, home, lovers alone
Laying on Arkansas grass
Once again
Laying on Arkansas grass
Laying on Arkansas grass
Laying on Arkansas grass
Laying on Arkansas grass
Laying on Arkansas grass
Laying on Arkansas grass
Laying on Arkansas grass
Home, home, lovers alone
Laying on Arkansas grass
