Letra de Arkansas

The designers of the Arkansas Were inspired to choose a form that was The exact dimensions and the shape of the state whose name she bore Yes the ship was shaped like Arkansas And the hull was formed without a flaw Every detail had been reproduced on a scale of one to one I was on the coast of Arkansas when I saw her colors from the shore And I sadly waved my handkerchief as the ship began to sing: I'm the ship that's shaped like Arkansas And my hull was formed without a flaw Every detail has been reproduced on a scale of one to one Avast, me hearties Ahoy, me state Ahoy, there Avast, there Ahoy, there, me hearties When the rising tide engulfs the shore And the waves roll over Arkansas Will the ship return to anchor there and replace the sunken state? For the ship was shaped like Arkansas And the hull was formed without a flaw Every detail had been reproduced on a scale of one to one
