Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

	  		C					G 
	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 
 
 
 
C					     G 
Pearl, Pearl, Pearl, don't give your love to Earl 
G 
I have got a horse and mule, Forty acres near a school 
G			C 
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.
