A Little Girl From Little Rock

I'm just a little girl from Little Rock
I lived on the wrong side of the tracks
Till a gentleman took me out one night
And after he'd taught me wrong from right
We moved to the right side of the tracks
Then someone done me wrong in Little Rock
So I up and left old Arkansas
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about
I came to New York and I found out
The one you call your "Daddy" ain't your pa
I was young and determined
I was wined and dined and ermined
Ev'ry night opportunity would knock
And some of these days in my fancy clothes
I'm a-goin' back home and thumb my nose
At the one who done me wrong
The one who done me wrong
The one who done me wrong in Little Rock.

I'm just a little girl from Little Rock
But fate led me straight to Murray Hill
And I suddenly had a charge account
It amounted to quite a large amount
But somehow I never got the bill
Although I lost my heart in Little Rock
I still wasn't smart about romance
I've discovered since then that a girl in love
Usually gets a token of
A man's appreciation in advance
Though my landlord adored me
He was like a father toward me
Until I found he owned a city block
And now that I'm known in the biggest bank
I'm a-goin' back home and give my thanks
To the one who done me wrong
The one who done me wrong
The one who done me wrong
I said the one who done me wrong
The one who done me wrong
The one who done me wrong in Little Rock.
