I'm goin' in the mornin', you bet I'm homeward bound
Done spent all my money, and I'm gonna leave this town
Feelin' kinda hungry, there's nothin' in my craw
I'm goin' back to my little cook in Bald Knob, Arkansas
Bald Knob, Arkansas, she's my Linda Lou
And I'm gonna be her lovin' man, and always love her true
Till I'm bald-headed, too
Got a little girl a-waitin' for me with a broken heart
I'll make a vow and buy a cow, and we will never part
Dress her up in calico and a wedding ring I'll order it from the catalog on the first
lay of the spring Bald Knob, Arkansas, she's my Linda Lou
And I'm gonna be her lovin' man, and always love her true
Till I'm bald-headed, too
You've heard about the mule trains many years ago
Windin' through Missouri through the sleet and through the snow
But now they got the modern train, they call it Cannonball
I'll catch it at the station for Bald Knob, Arkansas
Bald Knob, Arkansas, she's my Linda Lou
And I'm gonna be her lovin' man, and always love her true
Till I'm bald-headed, too
Bald Knob, Arkansas, she's my Linda Lou
And I'm gonna be her lovin' man, and always love her true
Till I'm bald-headed, too
