 Right Here in Arkansas. Why will your mind forever go
 To other states around? Our sheep and goats are white as
 snow
 Delicious fruits abound. On the hillsides, the cantaloupes
 Are growing day by day. Men will gather them in crates And ship them far away. in the valleys are corn and peas.
 A little cotton, too. ln the pasture green one sees
 Hogs and cows so true. Water and climate superfine,
 50 why, you want to rove? Mineral wealth within the mine
 All these are found near Cove. Fishes, game and poultry,
 And all things up to law l tell you there is Already
 Right here in Arkansas.
