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
