John D. Loudermilk Ma Baker's Little Acre Lyrics:
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
