Subject: Lyr Add: MY ARKANSAS SWEETHEART (H Cook, J Davis)
sung kinda matter-of-factly...not too much sincerity & emotion
in it..

My Arkansas Sweetheart
as recorded by: Jimmie Davis

Arkansas, you gave to me my sweetheart
Now I sing your praise the whole day long
Down among the pine trees she is waiting
Listen while I sing to her this song

My Arkansas sweetheart, I'm feelin' so blue
Nobody can cheer me, Nobody but you
The south wind is sighing a sweet melody
The voice of the southland is calling to me

The birds and the flowers and The love in your eyes
Are all that I want, dear, For my paradise
I'll follow the bluebirds, What more can I do?
My Arkansas sweetheart, I'm comin' to you

Repeat 2nd & 3rd verses with noted changes

My Arkansas sweetheart, I'm feelin' so blue
Nobody can cheer me, Nobody but you
The south wind is sighing a sweet melody
The voice of the southland is calling to me

The birds and the flowers and The love in your eyes
[Is] all that I want, dear, For my paradise
I'll follow the [bluebird-ies], What more can I do?
My Arkansas sweetheart, I'm comin' to you
