Earl and Pearl Part 2
There is an old place on the outskirts of town
The rumor is old Earls ghost hangs around
Shot by Pearl as he was sneaking away
With another girl her name was faye
Shot them both,never seen since that day
Now Maude and Claude two people from town
Decided to go see if Earls ghost was around
So the two of them grabbed some cold beer
Said come on lets get the hell out of here
Earl knew they were coming, so he'd wait
Listen for the sound of the old wooden gate
And he floated right up from his grave
With axe in his hand he gave them a wave
Maude fainted right there where she stood
Claude knew running would do him no good
Old Earls eyes were glaring bright red
One swing from the axe,Claude had no head
So if you dare come visit Earl here
Beware,Beware, he is waiting there
