Hey, people, you should come to Arkansas
Meet a friend of mine, old Aunt Phoebe Law
She's known to everyone for miles around
She will help you when friends forsake you
And trouble's bear you down
For those who come her way
Are blessed when they hear her say:
'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so
Spoke to the Lord, and the Lord said no
'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so
'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so
Tomorrow will bring something good, I know
'Tain't so, I mean it just 'tain't so
Makes no difference what your problem may be
Just look up, brother, and I'm sure you will see
'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so
The Devil said yes, but the Lord said no
'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so
