PEARLY BLUE

Pearly Blue. Old bluegrass song that Alicia taught Garrett to sing. He loved the song. He won't sing it much anymore, at least not to me. Maybe he sings it to Alicia when he is over at her house. 

Here is Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs in 1956 singing Pearly Blue (I guess the actual name of the song is "Down the Road").



PEARLY BLUE

Now down the road just a mile or two,
Lives a little girl named Pearly Blue,
About so high and her hair is brown,
The prettiest thing, boys, in this town.

Now any time you want to know,
Where I'm going down the road,
Get my girl on the line,
You'll find me there most any old time.

Now everyday and Sunday too,
I go to see my Pearly Blue,
Before you hear that rooster crow,
You'll see me headed down the road.

Now old man Flatt he owned the farm
From the hog lot to the barn
From the barn to the rail
He makes his living by carrying the mail.

Now every time I get the blues,
I walk the soles right off my shoes,
I don't know why I love her so,
That gal of mine lived down the road.
