"Have You Ever Been To Little Rock?"

[Chorus:]
Have you ever been to Little Rock?
Have you ever been to Little Rock?
Those Arkansas women
Born with beauty and grace

Up in the Ozark Mountains
The one they call Betty Jean
You can see God's country
Put a smile on your face

It's the land of my family
Down in Cleveland County
It's where my mama and daddy were born
Where the singin' pines grow

[Refrain 1:]
They got some hot spring water
Down in the Ouachita country
Wash away your misery
You feel like Henry Ford

[Bridge:]
Right off the scenic highway
Shake the hand of a farmer
Have a cool watermelon that weighs a hundred pounds
And in the Mississippi Delta land
They're growing rice and cotton
In the fields all week long
Saturday night in town

[Refrain 2:]
Yes, I love my people
And I'm proud of my raisin'
Sweet Arkansas memories until they leave me down

[Chorus:]
Have you ever been to Little Rock?
Have you ever been to Little Rock?
Those Arkansas women
Born with beauty and grace
