Social Songs
2  Two little Indians and one old squaw, Settin5 on the bank of the Arkansaw; Never put out a hook and line. Steal all the big fish off of mine.
3   Prettiest little girl I ever saw, Lived on the bank of the Arkansaw; Eyes were blue and her cheeks were red. She was sweet as gingerbread.
4  Mustang grape and the sweet pawpaw Grow on the bank of the Arkansaw; Every time a pretty girl wanted a beau, Up jumped Jimmy and away went Joe.
5   My best girl is hard to please -y
My best pants were up to my knees, I got the first good pair I saw Laying on the bank of the Arkansaw.
6  Jackson pushed his mother-in-law Over the bank of the Arkansaw j
The old lady showed him how to swim— When she got out, she threw him in.
7  The old lady ran away with the law, Down on the bank of the Arkansaw; Fell in love with the popinjay, They'll be back about dinnertime oy day.
[69]
