I'm just a little girl from Little Rock I lived on the wrong side of the tracks
But the gentleman friends who used to call They never did seem to mind at all
They came to the wrong side of the tracks
Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock So I up and left the pieces there
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about I came to New York and I found out
That men are the same way everywhere
I was young and determined To be white and dine in Irma
And I was young and determined To be white and dine in Irma
And I worked at it all around the clock
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes I'm going back home and punch the nose
Of the one who broke my heart The one who broke my heart
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock
Little Rock, Little Rock Little Rock
I'm just a little girl
I lived on the wrong side of the tracks
From Little Rock
A horse used to be my closest pal
Though I never did learn to read or write
I learned about love in the pale moonlight
And now I'm an educated gal
I learned an awful lot in Little Rock
And here's some advice I'd like to share
Find a gentleman who is shy or bold
Or short or tall
Or young or old
As long as the guy's a millionaire
For a key from a small street
I did very well on Wall Street
Though I never owned it
And now that I'm known in the biggest banks
I'm going back home and give my thanks
To the one who broke my heart
The one who broke my heart
The one who broke my heart
In Little Rock
The one who broke my heart
