Texarkana Baby - Eddy Arnold

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

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

She's my Texarkana baby
