The rarest girl I ever saw I saw down south in Arkansaw. She could saw wood to beat her Maw, And faster than her Paw could saw. Hurrah, Hurrah! For her I saw, Who could out-saw Her Paw and Maw. She-saw, hee-haw! I sing a saw Of a maid I saw In Arkansaw! I never saw, you never saw, A girl so saw-cy that could saw Like the saw-girl that once I saw Down in the State of Ark-an-saw! Hurrah, Hurrah!, etc. She danced the best you ever saw To tune of Turkey-in-the-Straw, And this great prize I'd like to draw To saw for me as wife or squaw. Hurrah, Hurrah!, etc. But when I ax'd her Paw and Maw To let me be their son-in-law, And let them saw in Arkansaw, They "sawed me off" by saying "Naw!" Hurrah, Hurrah!, etc. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SLUG IN WOODS by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY VICTORY BELLS by GRACE HAZARD CONKLING TO HIM THAT WAS CRUCIFIED by WALT WHITMAN PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 16.
