Shes my Texarkana baby
Do I love her Lowdy Law
Her pappy came from Texas
Her maw from Arkansas.
Im twisted round her finger
Like a little piece of string
And yet Im satisfied because
Shes such a precious thing.
If she hauled off and slapped me
I would never feel the sting
Shes my Texarkana baby
Shes my Texarkana baby
Do I love her Lowdy Law
Her pappy came from Texas
And her maw from Arkansas.
Shes pretty as a picture
And you ought to hear her name
Its sweet as sarghum syrup
And good ol blue ribbon cane.
She gives me lots of sugar
And she never spills a grain
Shes my Texarkana baby.
Shes 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
Shes my Texarkana baby.
Shes my Texarkana baby
Do I love her Lowdy Law
Her pappy came from Texas
And her maw from Arkansas.
Shes got two eyes that twinkle
Like a good ol country star
Shes got a perfect figure
Thatll stop you where you are.
Why everytime I look at her
I think of my guitar
Shes my Texarkana baby…
