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 troubles 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 ain't so.
Makes no difference what your problem
may be,
Just look up, brother, and I'm
sure you'll agree.
'Tain't so, honey, 'tain't so,
The Devil said yes, but the Lord
said no,
'Tain't so,
Honey, 'tain't so.
