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 anytime 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 made 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 lives down the road

Don’t fall in love with me darling I’m a rambler
Although you’re the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It’s all for your sake dear that I’m leaving
Don’t give your heart to a rambler, little girl
I handed you a lie dear and I’m sorry
You’re just a little sweeter that the rest
Believe me when I say I don’t mean to hurt you
Or do anything to mar our happiness
If I ever get the blues, now pretty baby
Or the lure of the highway on my mind
I'll long to hear the whistle of a freight train
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line
