  S1:
  Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends 

  All through their high school days  

  Both members of the 4H Club 

  Both active in the F-F-A 

  After graduation Mary Anne went out 

  Lookin' for a bright new world  

  Wanda looked all around this town 

  And all she found was Earl -x---x---x x---x---x---x

  S2:
  Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married 

  That Wanda started gettin' abused 

  She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses 

  And makeup to cover a bruise 

  Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce 

  She let the law take it from there 

  But Earl walked right through that restraining order 

  And put her in intensive care

  B1:
  Right away, Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta 

  On a red-eye midnight flight 

  She held Wanda's hand and they worked out a plan 

  And it didn't take 'em long to decide

  R1:
  That Earl had to die  

  Goodbye, Earl 

  Those black-eyed peas 

  They tasted all right to me, Earl 

  You're feeling weak 

  Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl? 

  Ain't it dark 

  Wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?

  S3:
  The cops came by to bring Earl in 

  They searched the house high and low 

  Then they tipped their hats 

  And said "Thank You ladies, if you hear from him let us know" 

  Well the weeks went by and spring turned to summer 

  And summer faded into fall 

  And it turns out he was a missing person 

  Who nobody missed at all -x---x---x x---x---x---x

  B2:
  So the girls bought some land at a roadside stand 

  Out on Highway 109 

  They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam 

  And they don't lose any sleep at night, 'cause...

  R2:
  Earl had to die  

  Goodbye Earl 

  We need a break 

  Let's go out to the lake, Earl 

  We'll pack a lunch 

  And stuff you in the trunk, Earl 

  Well, is that all right? 

  Good, let's go for a ride Earl, hey
