Well she stands there by the fire
She starts to smile as her lip perspires
She won't pray there for the souls
That she laid beneath the coalsShe looked at me, thought I could rescue her
She kissed my mouth by the White River
She needed cash, I got a gun
We robbed that bank, we're on the runShe's my girl and she's walking tall
I'm gonna take her down to Arkansas
She's my girl and she's walking tall
I'm gonna take her down to ArkansasOne sad day, the law finally won
Their gonna take her away, I gave them my gun
They set her free, and locked me away
I hear she found a place down by Greers Ferry LakeShe's my girl and she's walking tall
They locked me up down in Arkansas
She's my girl and she's walking tall
They locked me up down in ArkansasI'm just glad you got away
Inside these walls, I'll turn 58
They say you played me like a fool
They don't know the love I have for you
