Greene County, Arkansas - Centennial Edition 5

I was born and raised in Paragould Where your friends and neighbors aren't fooled

Where in the summer we're warmed

and in the winter we're cooled.

There's no place on earth like Paragould.

Paragould, oh, Paragould.

I'll come back to you someday.

How I love my Paragould, Arkansas,

Most beautiful spot that you ever saw.

Between the outlaws and the inlaws

it's nearly a draw.

Oh, you'll like Paragould, Arkansas.

My heart will always be in Paragould

Where folks are happy and free

and the will of the people has always

ruled.

Yes, it's there I will ever be and

when you're away, every day of the

week, for Paragould you'll yearn

and if you wade in the waters of

Eight-Mile Creek

Then it's sure you'll return.

Now it's the only town in the 50 states

Where the people all live by the golden rule and St. Peter will open those pearly gates when you say,

"I'm from Paragould."
