The Ballad Of Arlis Richards by Big Tent Revival


Arlis richards was a man

Who lived among the blacks

He was a cross tie walker

With guitar on his back

 

Barely educated

Couldn't write his name

But when he played his guitar

Everybody sang

 

I have been set free

Pain and misery

No longer follow me

I know jesus

 

Just outside of memphis

Back in '52

Arlis was a ramblin'

The way that he would do

Playing on his guitar

Sitting in the shade

People came to listen

To the music that he made

 

I have been set free

Pain and misery

No longer follow me

I know jesus

 

Some folks walked on by

They saw the color of his skin

Others stayed and cried

They saw the man within

 

When his song was over

Arlis went his way

But some folks say revival

Started that day

 

I have been set free

Pain and misery

No longer follow me

I know jesus

One more time gonna sing this song

 

I have been set free

Pain and misery

No longer follow me

I know jesus

He knows me
