Darrell Scott - No Love In Arkansas (The Ring) lyrics
[Darrell Scott - No Love In Arkansas The Ring lyrics]
I was surprised to see
Another ring just underneath as white
As snow can be through rich and poor
Sickness and health until the day we die
Oh, the day I took the ring off
I lay right down and cried
Oh mother, if you're listening please
Say a prayer for me
I love a lovely lady from
The green hills of Tennessee
I know Jesus loves a sinner
He must love me most of all
Tell Brenda I am sorry but there's
No love for me in Arkansas
No love in Arkansas that Mississippi river
It's muddy and it's wide
And you can't see what you're leaving
'Til you look back from the other side
And there I saw the years I'd spent and
All the years I'd left to go
I took that ring from my finger
And through it in the muddy
Mississippi river down below
Oh mother, if you're listening please
Say a prayer for me
I love a lovely lady from
The green hills of Tennessee
I know Jesus loves a sinner
He must love me most of all
Tell Brenda I am sorry but there's
No love for me in Arkansas
