[Verse 1]
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 coals
[Verse 2]
She 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 run
[Chorus]
She'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 Arkansas
[Verse 3]
One 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 Lake
[Chorus]
She'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 Arkansas
[Verse 4]
I'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
