Written by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
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
Well any time you wanna know
Just where I'm goin' down the road
Get my girl on the line
You'll find me there most any time
Down the road, down the road
Got a pretty little girl, down the road
Now every day and Sunday too
I go to see my Pearly Blue
Before you hear that rooster crow
You'll see me headed down the road
Down the road, down the road
Got a little pretty girl, down the road
Well every time I get the blues
I walk the soles right off my shoes
Don't know why I love her so
That gal of mine lives down the road
