Lyrics:


1. I had a cow that slobbered bad,
    Down in the Arkin-saw,
    I took'er to m'Great-Grandad,
    Down in the Arkin-saw.
    Ast'im what t'do fer it
    Down in the Arkin-saw,
    Granpaw said, "Teach that cow t'spit!"
    Down in the Arkin-saw.
    Chorus:
        Down in the Arkin,
        Down in the Arkin,
        Down in the Arkin-saw,
        The sweetest gal I ever knew
        Was down in the Arkin-saw.

2. When I was just a little lad,
    Down in the Arkin-saw,
    My Maw got married to my Dad
    Down in the Arkin-saw.
    Grampaw got mad and cussed a-while
    Down in the Arkin-saw,
    Til Grammaw said, "It's the latest style,"
    Down in the Arkin-saw!
    Chorus
3. I loved a gal, her name was Lil,
    Down in the Arkin-saw,
    I hugged that girl all over the hill
    Way down in the Arkin-saw.
    Her Paw got mad and called me "Son"
    Down in the Arkin-saw;
    He tied the knot with his rifle-gun
    Way down in the Arkin-saw!
    Chorus

4. Now I've got a gal and her name is Phyl
    Down in the Arkin-saw.
    I loved her once and I love her still
    Down in the Arkin-saw.
    Now she's cross-eyed, that's a fact.
    She cries and the tears roll down her back
    Down in the Arkansas.
    Chorus (twice)
