Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends

Both members of the 4H club

After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin'

for a bright new world

Wanda looked all around this town
C C G G C C
And all she found was Earl

After she got married that
C C G G
Wanda started gettin' abused
C C F F
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
C C G G C C
And make up to cover a bruise
C C F F
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
C C G G
She let the law take it from there
C C F F
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
C C G G C C
And put her in intensive care
Am Am G G
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
F F C C
On a red eye midnight flight

She held Wanda's hand as they

Worked out a plan

And it didn't take 'em long to decide
C C F F C C
That Earl had to die
G G F F
Goodbye Earl
C C F F C C
Those black-eyed peas
G G F F
They tasted all right to me Earl
C C F F C C
You're feelin' weak
G G
Why don't you lay down
F F
And sleep Earl
C C F F C C
Ain't it dark
G G F F C C F F C C F F
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl
C C F F
The cops came by to bring Earl in
C C
They searched the house
G G
High and low
C C
Then they tipped thier hats
F F C C G G C C
And said "thank you ladies if you hear from him let us know"
C C
Well the weeks went by and
F F
Spring turned to Summer
C C G G
And Summer faded into Fall
C C F F
And it turns out he was a missing person
C C G G
Who nobody missed at all
Am Am
So the girls bought some land
G G
And a roadside stand
F F C C
Out on Highway 109
Am Am
They sell Tennessee ham
G G
And strawberry jam
F F
And they don't
G G
Lose any sleep at night 'cause
C C F F C C
Earl had to die
G G F F
Goodbye Earl
C C
We need a break

Let's go out to the lake Earl
C C F F C C
We'll pack a lunch
G G F F
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
C C F F C C
Well is that all right
G G F F
Good Let's go for a ride
C C F F C C G G F F C C
