He was a crosstie walker with guitar on his back

I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!

Arlis was a ramblin the way that he would do
Am G

Am G
people came to listen to the music that he made
G B7 Em C G D C
I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!
