I’m leavin town this morning

You can bet I’m homeward bound

I done spent all my money

And I gotta get out of town

I’m feelin kind of hungry

I Got nothin in my craw

I’m on my way to a little crook

Back of Bald Knob Arkansas

Chorus:

Bald Knob Arkansas

See my Linda – Lue

I will be her lovin man

And I’ll always love her true

Till I’m bald headed too

I got a blue eyed gal a waiting

There with a broken heart

I’m sellin’ out and I’ll buy her a cow

And we never more will part

I’ll dress her up in calico

Buy her a wedding ring

I’ll order on the way and go

On the first day of the spring

Chorus:

Bald Knob Arkansas…

You’ve heard about the muley train a many years ago

Travellin through the desert, through the rain and through the snow

But now they’ve got the modern train they call the cannonball

I’ll catch it at the station back of Bald Knob Arkansas

Chorus:

Bald Knob Arkansas

Repeat chorus …ends
