New verses for Pearl Pearl Pearl


I love hearing Flatt and Scruggs sing Pearl Pearl Pearl, there's a studio track you can hear on youtube. Over the years I've composed additional verses to the song, and of course you *must* recite them with the Flatt and Scruggs twang.

Here's a couple:

Pearl Pearl Pearl, now won't you be my girl?
Don't you mess with ol' Earl Scruggs,
Y'know he likes to hit the jug,
He'd have a snoot full on your weddin' day!

Pearl Pearl Pearl, I wish you'd be my girl!
Instead of courtin' Lester Flatt,
He'll say this and he'll say that,
But none of it will mean a doggone thang!

OK, let's hear 'em folks! All contributions are welcome!

And a couple more...

Pearl Pearl Pearl, don't listen to that Earl!
He will only tell you lies,
'Bout how he don't woman-ize,
But he's got gals in ever' town we play!

Pear Pearl Pearl, now come on be my girl!
Don't you marry Lester Flatt,
His ex-wives all say he's a rat,
He'll snore the shingles right down from yor roof!

Anyone else?
