Lyrics
Ah, first I loved her in Texas
Then I loved her in Louisiana
She moved over to Arkansas
Well, she moved all around
But I still loved her
Come in, Tom, and tell us about it
Texarkana baby, that is
She's my Texarkana baby
Do I love her? Lordy, Lord (Uh-huh)
Her pappy comes from Texas (Ah)
Her ma from Arkansas (Yeah)
I'm twisted 'round her finger
Like a little piece of string
And I'd be satisfied
Because she's such a precious thing
If she hauled off and she slapped me
I'd never feel the sting
She's my Texarkana baby
Oh, Kelso
Ah-ho
This is when she loved
And lived in Texas
She loved the piano
Well, we had to play the kind of music she liked
Naturally
Ah, well, tell us more, Thomas
She's my Texarkana baby
Do I love her? Lordy, Lord (Uh-huh)
Her pappy comes from Texas
Her ma from Arkansas (Oh)
One night I went a-callin'
On this pretty little maid (Yes, yes)
I must admit to you
I was a little bit afraid (No playing here)
To offer her a diamond ring
With one installment paid
She's my Texarkana baby
Ah, look out there, Junior
Well, you know, what happened here
She moved down in Arkansas
Well, she likes the guitar
And we play this guitar part
That's Junior Bernard, that is
Ah, let's go, man
Well, alright
She's my Texarkana baby
Do I love her? Lordy, Lord (Tell us more, Thomas)
Her pappy comes from Texas
Her ma from Arkansas
I wanted to get married
But she said we ought to wait
Because she's busy breakin' hearts
In almost every state
I guess I'll put it off
Until she's broken forty-eight
She's my Texarkana baby
She's my little tri-state baby
