You were the one spring Arkansas, babe You took 20 baths a day You went to one spring Arkansas, babe You took 20 baths a day But whatever you have It just can't be wiped away I could tell by the way You crawl up the hill, babe I could tell by the way You crawl up the hill, babe Somebody had taken you Taken you through the mill 'Cause when your eye roll back, baby And your nose begin to run When your eye roll back, babe And your nose begin to run You can bet all the tears shining Hot spring water won't help you none
