Purlie Songtext
von Melba Moore

Well, I love to sit and hear him dream
Because he tells it just like a story
Talks about a better time
Happy days and glory
He says no one′s scratchin' for a livin′
Like some chicken peckin'
He's got the whole world figured out
And even more
I reckon the moon will rise to light the sky
You know the moon come up just to lay more shine


Pearly, my Pearly
You know the spring gon′ spring just to charm the bees
And the flowers flower just for Pearly
Pearly, oh, my Pearly

Well, I ain′t never seen a man
With two lookin' things that make any man
Say he could steal the evenin′ breeze
Stare the sun down till it freeze
I just can't wait to greet each day
And let my eyes see
Pearly, Pearly, oh, my Pearly

Well, now, you just thrill me through and through
Pearly, you′re too good to be true
Pearly, I think I'm in love with you
Hey, Pearly, wow, now
Yes!
