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
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
