Lyrics

She's my texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law
Her pappy came from texas her maw from arkansaw
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 wouldn't feel the sting she's my texarkana baby
She's my texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law
Her pappy came from texas her maw from arkansaw
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 spill a grain she's my texarkana baby
[ choir ]
She's my texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law
Her pappy came from texas her maw from arkansaw
One night I went a callin' on my pretty little maid
I must admit to you I was a little bit afraid
To offer her a diamond ring with one installment paid she's my texarkana baby
She's my texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law
Her pappy came from texas her maw from arkansaw
I wanted to get married but she said we ought to wait
Because she's busy breakin' hearts in almost every state
I guess we'll put it off until she's broken six or eight she's my texarkana baby
[ choir ]
She's my texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law
Her pappy came from texas her maw from arkansaw
She's got two eyes that twinkle like a good ol' country star
She's got a perfect figure that'll stop you wherever you are
And every time I look at her I think of my guitar she's my texarkana baby
She's my texarkana baby she's my texarkana baby
