Текст (слова) песни: John D. Loudermilk - Ma Baker`s Little Acre
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
