Pearl, Pearl, Pearl Lyrics - The Essential Flatt & Scruggs: 'tis Sweet To Be Remembered - Flatt And Scruggs

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs 

CHORUS 

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.
