Last night you called me from Arkansas

So that's where you are!

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

So they think they can take you away from your ma -

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

Mother in-law, father in-law

Lovers and lawyers in Arkansas

Laid down the law;

Said I was crazy

Crazy and lazy

They expect me to go before a judge and stand there shaking

While my heart is breaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

Mother in-law, father in-law

Lovers and lawyers in Arkansas

Laid down the law;

Said I was crazy

Crazy and lazy

Oh I'm gonna get a judge who is a lady

I'm comin' to get you, let there be no mistaking

Maybe she knows about having a baby.

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking

I'm coming to get you, let there be no mistaking
