Pearl and Blue
(Daniel P. Strohm, copyright 2015)
I picked her up one morning
Looked right down her sights
I just had to shoot
I didn’t know wrong from right

She’s got handles of pearl
Chambers inlaid with gold
She’s been around the world
But her story’s not been told

I love my pistol
She can really make a mess
Goes off when she wants to
She will never confess to what it true
She’s pearl and blue

I keep her concealed
Near my breast
Close to my heart
and underneath my vest

People say that I don’t need her
Crime is going down
They don’t understand
That was before we came to town

I love my pistol
She can really make a mess
Goes off when she wants to
She will never confess to what it true
She’s pearl and blue

She’s gonna explode if I keep her hid
Smoke and lead forever
No one will know
What we did

Keep her in a cupboard
On the top shelf
If I pick her up again
I’ll hold her until I lose myself

I love my pistol
She can really make a mess
Goes off when she wants to
She will never confess to what we do
She’s pearl and blue
