Adrienne Young - Pretty Ella Arkansas lyrics

Adrienne Young

Pretty Ella Arkansas

Birthed 9 daughters and a son

She was a sure shot with a pistol

And here bare feet loved to run

There was raven hair and brown skin

Green eyes and a crooked smile

There were freckles on her shoulders

From sun-kissed country miles

Well her Papa died in prison

The day she turned 16

Set Ella free from a life of sin

When he got that old TB

Ella?d never known her Mama

?cept for that picture on the wall

Oh but she blessed her in her prayers each night

Knowin? someday she would call

Pretty Ella Arkansas

Dangdest thing I ever saw

Racing with a northbound freight

Choose your car and jump inside

Keep the faith and hold on tight

Everything?s gonna be alright

For pretty Ella Arkansas

Just keep following the light

Was in the heat of that same summer

When she met her children?s Pa

At a downtown dance in Hot Springs

Sweat and rhythm filled the hall

When Miller Jacobs saw our girl

He had to blink and rub his eyes

Thought the whiskey must be playin? tricks

Or there was an angel in disguise

Pretty Ella Arkansas

Dangdest thing I ever saw

Racing with a northbound freight

Choose your car and jump inside

Keep the faith and hold on tight

Everything?s gonna be alright

For pretty Ella Arkansas

Just keep following the light

It happened so fast

Winter blew past

The bride she was dressed in all white

Pretty Ella Arkansas

Birthed 9 daughters and a son

Became the Mother she?d always wished she?d had

Lived ripe and full to 91

Old Miller Jacobs loved that girl

And when they laid herin the ground

Everybody knew he?d be following soon

As the rain came pourin?down

Pretty Ella Arkansas

Dangdest thing I ever saw

Racing with a northbound freight

Choose your car and jump inside

Keep the faith and hold on tight

Everything?s gonna be alright

For pretty Ella Arkansas

Just keep following the light
