[00:00:00] Ma Baker's Little Acre - John D. Loudermilk (约翰尼·迪伊)

[00:00:01] Written by：John D. Loudermilk

[00:00:08] Now a little old lady by the name of Ma Baker

[00:00:12] Lived out of town on one square acre

[00:00:15] In a little white house with a picket fence all around

[00:00:23] She had a kind and a gentle way 'till the day the TVA

[00:00:29] Tried to make Ma Baker sell her little acre of land

[00:00:37] They showed her a map of how the river ran

[00:00:41] And a sketch of a brand new dam

[00:00:44] But Ma Baker wouldn't sell her little acre of land

[00:00:52] She said pa left this to me sonny

[00:00:55] And I wouldn't sell for love nor money

[00:00:59] No sir Ma Baker's gonna keep her little acre of land

[00:01:06] The next time they came they brought the sheriff

[00:01:10] Found Ma said in an old porch chair

[00:01:14] Just a knittin' and a rockin' out in the evening sun

[00:01:21] She said I think you best to wait

[00:01:25] Don't just step through the picket gate

[00:01:28] And on ma's lap they noticed pa's old shotgun

[00:01:46] Yeah now out in the middle of the brand new lake

[00:01:50] Is a little island of one square acre

[00:01:53] And Ma Baker's just as happy as she can be

[00:02:00] Although she can't swim but she can float

[00:02:04] And catch big bass from her motor boat

[00:02:08] And when the wind ain't blowin' too strong she can water ski

[00:02:14] And my Baker still owns her little acre of land
