Pearl, Pearl, Pearl, come let us see our girl G Are you still our valentine? Do you still look so divine? G C 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 loving girl Don't you marry Lester Flatt, He slicks his hair with possum fat Change your name to Mrs. Earl Scruggs 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'll live on kisses and hugs Like Juliet and Romeo.
