- Lester Flatt: [singing] Pearl, Pearl, Pearl/ don't give your love to Earl/ I have got a horse and mule/ 40 acres near a school/ and we'll be happy as two bugs.
- Earl Scruggs: [singing] Pearl, Pearl Pearl/ come be my lovin' girl/ don't you marry Lester Flatt/ he slicks his hair with possum fat/ change your name to Mrs. Earl Scruggs.
- Lester Flatt: [singing] Pearl, Pearl, Pearl/ you'll get no love from Earl/ this here man is such a sap/ he won't hold you on his lap/ unless you are an old 5-string banjo.
- Earl Scruggs: [singing] Pearl, Pearl, Pearl/ he's nutty as a squirrel/ if you'll be Mrs. Scruggs/ we will live on kisses and hugs/ happy as two...
- Lester Flatt: Earl, I think we better stop this song 'cause yonder comes your wife.
- Earl Scruggs: Yeah, they're jealous of Pearl as it is.
- Lester Flatt: Well, they got a reason to be, 'cause I ain't never seen a girl as pretty as Pearl.
- Earl Scruggs: We had to settle for second best.
- Cousin Pearl Bodine: I've got to decide which dress to wear tonight. Do you think this one shows off my figure?
- Jethro Bodine: Well yeah, Ma, but wear it anyway. It's pretty.
- Jed Clampett: Have you decided which one you're gonna say yes to?
- Cousin Pearl Bodine: Nope. I thought I'd wait and see how the years have treated 'em.
- Jed Clampett: Yeah, I reckon you're smart to look 'em over first. Some folk ages quicker than others.
- Cousin Pearl Bodine: That's right, and don't forget, them boys is purt near 18 or 19 years older that when I seen 'em last. Well I'm purt near 10 years older myself.
