C
She's my Texarkana baby do I love her lowdy law

                              C7
Her pappy came from Texas her maw from Arkansas

    F                               C
I'm twisted round her finger like a little piece of string

    F                                      C
And yet I'm satisfied because she's such a precious thing

       F                                 C
If she hauled off and slapped me I would never feel the sting

She's pretty as a picture and you ought to hear her name

     F                          C
It's sweet as sorghum syrup and good ol' blue ribbon cane

    F                          C
She gives me lots of sugar and she never spills a grain

One night I went a callin' on my pretty little maid

       F                    C
I must admit to you I was a little bit afraid

   F                             C
To offer her a diamond ring with one installment pay

She's got two eyes that twinkle like a good ol' country star
