"Texarkana Baby" is a song written by Fred Rose and Cottonseed Clark.

Eddy Arnold and his Tennessee Plowboys and his Guitar recorded it RCA Victor Studios in New York City on August 20, 1947 (1947-08-20).

"Texarkana Baby" was the B-side of Arnold's version of "Bouquet of Roses" and made it to number one on the Best Selling Retail Folk Records chart for one week [5] in between the nineteen weeks "Bouquet of Roses" stayed at number one.

On March 31, 1949, "Texarkana Baby" was among the first seven-inch 45 rpm records issued by RCA in the United States.

Texarkana/Bouquet appears in green vinyl as 48-0001, an odd choice since RCA generally started a series with 0000 (Crudup 50-0000, Meisels 51-0000, Goodman 52-0000).
