Eight Small Ugly Pearls Track

Staying Back

Lyrics from John Steinbeck's "The Pearl"

The doctor never came to the brush houses
he spent all of his time with the rich people
The doctor won't come to us
then we will go to him

Do you have any money?
He brought out eight small ugly pearls

I'm sorry my friend but this pearl is too big
No one will buy a pearl this big
Kino felt that he was in danger
the crowd became silent

Do you have any money?
He brought out eight small ugly pearls
