Lyrics Texarkana Baby - Eddy Arnold

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 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 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
--- Instrumental ---
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 everytime I look at her
I think of my guitar
She’s my Texarkana baby…
