WW
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 FFA
After graduation
Mary Anne went out

Lookin' for a

bright new world
Wanda looked all around

this town

And all she found was Earl
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 make-up to

cover her bruise
But Earl walked right through

that restraining order

And put her in intensive care
Right away Mary Anne

flew in from Atlanta

On a red eye midnight flight
And it didn't take 'em

long to decide

That Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl

Those black-eyed peas

They tasted all right to me

Earl, you're feelin' weak
Why don't you
lay down and sleep

Earl, ain't it dark

Wrapped up in that tarp Earl
The cops came by

to bring Earl in
They searched their house

high and low
Then they tipped their hats

and said thank you ladies

If you hear from him

let us know
And it turns out he

was a missing person

Who nobody missed at all
They sell Tennessee ham

and strawberry jam
And they don't

lose any sleep at night
'Cause 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, lefs go for a ride

Earl, hey!
Well hey hey hey
Ah hey hey hey
Well hey hey hey
