Down the road, down the road
Got a little pretty girl, down the road
Now down the road just a mile or two
Lives a little girl named "Pearly Blue"
Bout so high and her hair is broun
Purtiest thing, boys, in this town
* Refrain
Now anytime you want to know
Where I'm heading it's down the road
?(Get my girl on the line)(See that my girl on the line)
You'll find me there most any ol' time
* Refrain
Now everyday at Sunday too
I go to see my Pearly Blue
Before you hear that rooster crow
You'll see me headed down the road
* Refrain
Now her oldman he had a farm
From the hog lot to the barn
From the barn to the rail
?(He made living by carryin' the mail)(Made his livin' by carryin' mail)
* Refrain
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
* Refrain
