Oh,
Arkansas
Written
by:
Terry
Rose and
Gary
Klaff
It's the
spirit
of the
mountains
and the
spirit
of the
Delta
It's the
spirit
of the
Capitol
dome.
It's the
spirit
of the
river
and the
spirit
of the
lakes,
It's the
spirit
that's
in each
and
every
home.
It's the
spirit
of the
people
and the
spirit
of the
land,
It's the
spirit
of
tomorrow
and
today.
Chorus
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas,
Arkansas
U.S.A.
It's the
spirit
of
friendship,
it's the
spirit
of hope
It's the
Razorbacks
every
game
they
play.
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas,
Arkansas
U.S.A.
It's the
spirit
of the
forest,
it's the
spirit
of the
eagle.
It's the
spirit
of the
country
that we
love.
It's the
spirit
of pride
that we
all feel
deep
inside,
It's the
spirit
that
shines
from
above.
It's the
spirit
of our
fathers,
it's the
spirit
of our
kids,
It's the
spirit
of the
music
that we
play.
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas
U.S.A.
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas
U.S.A.
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas,
Oh
Arkansas
U.S.A.

Arkansas
(You Run
Deep in Me)
Written by Wayland
Holyfield
October morning in the Ozark
Mountains,
Hills ablazing like that sun in
the sky.
I fell in love there and the
fire's still burning
A flame that never will die.
Chorus
Oh, I
may wander, but when I do
I will never be far from you.
You're in my blood and I know
you'll always be.
Arkansas, you run deep in me.
Moonlight dancing on a delta
levee,
To a band of frogs and
whippoorwill
I lost my heart there one July
evening
And it's still there, I can
tell.
Repeat Chorus
Magnolia blooming, Mama smiling,
Mallards sailing on a December
wind.
God bless the memories I keep
recalling
Like an old familiar friend.
Repeat Chorus
And
there's a river rambling through
the fields and valleys,
Smooth and steady as she makes
her way south,
A lot like the people whose name
she carries.
She goes strong and she goes
proud.
Repeat Chorus
Adopted by the 1987 General Assembly
as an Official State Song.
