Texarkana Baby

She's my Texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law Her pappy came from Texas her maw from Arkansas 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 Arkansas She's pretty as a picture and you ought to hear her name It's sweet as sorghum 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 Arkansas 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 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 I think of my guitar She's my Texarkana baby
