Arkansas (i/ˈɑrkənsɔː/ AR-kən-saw) is a state located in the Southern region of the United States. Its name is an Algonquian name of the Quapaw Indians. Arkansas shares borders with six states (N: Missouri; E: Tennessee, Mississippi; S: Louisiana; SW: Texas; W: Oklahoma), and its eastern border is largely defined by the Mississippi River. Its diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River. Arkansas is the 29th most extensive and the 32nd most populous of the 50 United States. The capital and most populous city is Little Rock, located in the central portion of the state.
The name “Arkansas” derives from the same root as the name for the state of Kansas. The Kansa tribe of Native Americans are closely associated with the Sioux tribes of the Great Plains. The word “Arkansas” itself is a French pronunciation (“Arcansas”) of a Quapaw (a related “Kaw” tribe) word, akakaze, meaning “land of downriver people” or the Sioux word akakaze meaning “people of the south wind”. The pronunciation of Arkansas was made official by an act of the state legislature in 1881, after a dispute between two U.S. Senators from Arkansas. One wanted to pronounce the name /ɑrˈkænzəs/ ar-KAN-zəs and the other wanted /ˈɑrkənsɔː/ AR-kən-saw.

Plot
Texas Ranger Ken Neville receives a letter from his father, rancher Clem Neville stating that a neighboring rancher, Silas Warner is stealing his cattle and also accusing Neville of being a rustler. Ken leaves to help his father, while a fellow Ranger, a stutterer named Ned "Repeater" Simpson follows him. Meanwhile, the elder Neville now suspects that local saloon owner Rance Collins is really the man behind the rustlings and, after telling Warner's daughter Mary that he is going out to see her father, takes a telegram confirming his suspicions about Collins and his past to Warner. Collins learns from Mary, who doesn't know the details, about Neville's planned visit, and he and henchman Rawhide follow him. Collins, listening through an open window, learns that the two ranchers know he is behind their feud and troubles, shoots them both and arranges the bodies to look as if they had killed each other in a quarrel. Ken, concealing his identity from Mary, learns from her that she had told Collins that Neville was riding out to the Warner ranch.As he is leaving the Warner ranch, he meets foreman "Black Mike" Richards, and then sees him in town that night in the saloon talking to Collins. Later, Ken approaches Collins and tells him he knows of his past rustling reputation in Toponah and that he himself is the notorious "Red River" Ganz and they ought to go into partnership. "Repeater", following a plan he and Ken devised comes into the saloon, identifies himself as a Texas Ranger and is shot by Ken in a faked shootout.The impressed Collins takes Ken on and sends him to the Warner ranch to work with henchman "Black Mike." But Mary learns accidentally that Ken is Neville's son and she, ever-trusting, tells Collins. This does not enhance Ken's chances of getting the goods on Collins.

I went to Arkansas to find me some kin
They say my daddy's getting out of the pin
My mama told me I'm like him, a temper like a fire
A frame just like a wire
And if this was real, if this was what I need
If this was home, if this was everything
You'd run away, you wouldn't stay
If this was real
So don't be true, now don't be true
You'll be my apple pie and I'll be your pearl
Your appaloosa has grown up from a girl
You'll look at me like families do
And I'll look back at you, fit you like a shoe
And if this was real, if this was what I need
If this was home, if this was everything
You'd run away, you wouldn't stay
If this was real
So don't be true, now don't be true
I went to Arkansas to find me some kin
I've be a rain dog as long as I've been
Save for this ring of glass and tin
I don't want the city woman, she all too fast
Give me a slow country girl with a lot of class
So I'm going, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Arkansas here I come, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Now if I can't live independent, why live like a bum
It's just a hop a skip and a jump
Now when I get to the country gone build me a house and fence
Me and my country girl won't pay no rent
So I'm going, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Arkansas here I come, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Now if I can't live independent, why live like a bum
It's just a hop a skip and a jump
Piano Solo
Now when I get to the country, where I made my start
I'll take my girl and love her to her heart
I'm going, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Arkansas here I come, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Now if I can't live independent, why live like a bum
It's just a hop a skip and a jump
Now when I get to the country, gone buy a house and fence
Me, my little girl won't pay no rent
I'm going, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Arkansas here I come, it's just a hop a skip and a jump
Now if I can't live independent, why live like a bum
It's just a hop a skip and a jump

Prettiest place I ever saw

Gentle mountains, it reached to the sky
Oh, how I hated to say goodbye to

Dirt roads that lead nowhere
Except the houses that need repairing
And front porch people wearing a smile
And they cover every mile of

Prettiest place I ever saw
Was back home in Arkansas

Far far down Arkansas
There lived a squatter with a stubborn jaw
His nose was droopy red and his whiskers grey
He could fiddle all the night and all the day (far far away)
Came a traveller down a road
Ask if he could find an inn
Can I find an inn
C'mon can I find an inn
Far far down Arkansas
Here come a government man talkin' to my pa
He told 'im uh, I gots to go to school
I gotta learn to be a gosh durn fool (far far away)
(far far away, far far away)
Far far down Arkansas
I was a squatter with a stubborn jaw (far far away)
My nose is droopy red an' my whiskers grey
'Cause the magical mystery tour has taken me away
(Taken me away) taken me away
Far far down Arkansas
I was my mother I was my pa (raised a squatter)
A gov'ment man and a-whiskey still too
And everywhere I'm a-lookin' at you
Far far down Arkansas
Are you stubborn look at your droopin' jaw
