Lyrics
[Chorus]
Have you ever been to Little Rock?
Have you ever been to Little Rock?
Those Arkansas women
Born with beauty and grace
[Verse 1]
Up in the Ozark Mountains
The one they call Betty Jean
You can see God's country
Put a smile on your face
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
They got some hot spring water
Down in the Ouachita country
Wash away your misery
You feel like Henry Ford
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
