I live in this old house with ten thousand lonely memories
Of the girl I never thought would become my used to be
And when I’m alone at night I get lonesome for the time
When nothing lived in this old house but
Love love and Pearl and Pearl and me

Pearl used to love me like my momma loved my daddy
That’s about as strong and as deep as love can be
Lord I sure do miss all those happy yesterdays
When nothing lived in this old house but
Love love and Pearl and Pearl and me

I still think about her on this big old lonely bed
How I left her here without the one she used to meet
Instead of counting sheep I count the good things I once had
When nothing lived in this old house but
Love love and Pearl and Pearl and me
