The Ballad of Arlis Richards
done by Warren and Rose Surette
submitted by : Warren Surette
G AM G
Arlis Richards was a man who lived among the blacks
AM G
He was a crosstie walker with guitar on his back
AM G
barely educated couldn't write his name
AM G
but when he played his guitar this is what he sang

G B7 EM C G D C
I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!
AM G
Just outside of Memphis back in 52
AM G
Arlis was a ramblin the way that he would do
AM G
playing on his guitar sitting in the shade
AM G
people came to listen to the music that he made
CHORUS>
G B7 EM C G D C
I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!



Some folks walked on by when they saw the color of his skin
others stayed and cried when they saw the man within.



AM
when his song was over Arlis went his way
AM G
But some folks say revival started that day
CHORUS>
G B7 EM C G D C
I have been set free pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!
