texarkana baby
arnold, eddy
her pappy came from texas
i'm twisted round her finger
like a little piece of string
and yet i'm satisfied because
she's such a precious thing
if she hauled off and slapped me
i would never feel the sting
her pappy came from texas
and her maw from arkansas
she's pretty as a picture
and you ought to hear her name
it's sweet as sarghum syrup
and good ol' blue ribbon cane
she gives me lots of sugar
and she never spills a grain
her pappy came from texas
and her maw from arkansas
one night i went a callin'
i was a little bit afraid
to offer her a diamond ring
her pappy came from texas
and her maw from arkansas
she's got two eyes that twinkle
like a good ol' country star
she's got a perfect figure
that'll stop you where you are
why every time i look at her
