Eddy Arnold - Texarkana Ba 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 would never feel the sting

She's my Texarkana baby

She's my Texarkana baby do I love her Lowdy Law

Her pappy came from Texas and 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 spills a grain

She's my Texarkana baby

She's my Texarkana baby do I love her Lowdy Law

Her pappy came from Texas and 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 pay

She's my Texarkana baby

[ steel ]

She's my Texarkana baby do I love her Lowdy Law

Her pappy came from Texas and 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 where you are

Why everytime I look at her I think of my guitar

Se's my Texarkana baby
