Subject: Lyr Add: DOWN IN THE ARKAN
I have not heard this one though I live just a few miles from Big Flat and from the Little Red River. The are on opposite sides of the county. Is this related to "DOWN IN THE ARKAN"?

I had a cow that slobbered bad
Down in the Arkansas
I took her to my great granddad
Way down in the Arkansas
I asked him what to do for it
Down in the Arkansas
Grandpa said teach that cow to spit
Way down in the Arkansas

CHORUS: Down in the Arkan, down in the Arkan
Down in the Arkansas
The sweetest girl I ever saw
Was down in the Arkansas

When I was just a little lad
Down in the Arkansas
My ma got married to my dad
Way down in the Arkansas
Grandpa got mad and cussed a while
Down in the Arkansas
Till grandma said it's the latest style
Way down in the Arkansas

I had a gal and her name was Lil
Down in the Arkansas
I hugged that gal all over the hill
Way down in the Arkansas
Her pa ran up and called me son
Down in the Arkansas
He tied the knot with his rifle gun
Way down in the Arkansas
