Now a little old lady by the name of | |
Ma Baker lived out of town on one square acre | |
In a little white house with a picket fence all around | |
She had a kind and a gentle way till the day the | |
TVA Tried to make | |
Ma Baker sell her little acre of land | |
They showed her a map of how the river ran and a sketch of a brand new dam | |
But Ma Baker wouldn't sell her little acre of land | |
She said Pa left this to me sonny and | |
I wouldn't sell for love nor money | |
No sir Ma | |
Baker's gonna keep her little acre of land | |
The next time they came they brought the sheriff | |
Found Ma a rockin' in an old porch chair | |
Just a knittin' and a rockin' out in the evening sun | |
She said I think you best to wait and don't just step through the picket gate | |
And on Ma's lap they noticed | |
Pa's old shotgun [ harmonica ] | |
Yeah now out in the middle of the brand new lake is a little island of one square acre | |
And Ma Baker's just as happy as she can be | |
And she can't swim but she can float and catch big bass from her motor boat | |
And when the wind ain't blowin' too much she can water ski | |
Yeah and my | |
Baker still owns her little acre of land |
