THAT’S OLD ARKANSAS.
I><>wn where big red apples grow,
Down where wild winds never blow,
Down where crystal fountains (low,
Land of cotton.
Land of corn,
Land where noble women are born,
'i hat’s old Arkansaw.
Place where people treat you right,
Place where ’squitoes sometimes bite,
Place 1 love with all my might,
Where brave men live,
Where brave men die,
here content dwells in every eye,
That's old Arkansaw.
^<w, just watch us at the Pair,
For we’ll surely all be there,
And we always get our share,
Men may come,
And men may go,
Put we intend to see the show;
That’s old Arkansaw.
Now’S tiie t ime to take a p»ep,
Across tiie dark and briny deep.
And show tiie nations what we keep—
Lead and zinc
And brilliant pearls,
And lots and lots of pretty girls—
That’s old Arkansaw.
Jf you’d see a thing that’s great,
<’atch a glimpse of our great state,
l'or we never stand and wait.
Men may scorn,
Turn up their nose,
Hut we’re a state till, the great horn
blows,
That's old Arkansuw.
