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
