Pearl Pearl Pearl

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

Come, let us see our girl

Are you still our valentine?

Do you still look so divine?

Come and let us see our darlin' Pearl

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

Don't give your love to Earl

I have got a horse and mule

Forty acres near a school

We'll be happy as two bugs

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

Come be my lovin' girl

Don't you marry Lester Flatt

He slicks his hair with possum fat

Change your name to Mrs. Earl Scruggs

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

Come let us see our girl

Are you still our valentine?

Do you still look so divine?

Come and let us see our darlin' Pearl

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

You'll get no love from Earl

This here man is such a sap

He won't hold you on his lap

Unless you are an old 5-string banjo

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

He's nutty as a squirrel

If you'll be Mrs.Scruggs

We will live on kiss and hugs

Like Juliet and Romeo

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

Come let us see our girl

Are you still our valentine?

Do you still look so divine?

Come on let us see our darlin' Pearl
