The Pearl of Rufton County
Started with a little grain of sand
The mountain and the valley were
The oyster and the shell
The well brings water from the land
I send this wish into the canyon
Hoping for a swift reply
If the rock deigns me an echo
I will crown you with this cry
The girl grew into bounty
Ushered by her family's hand
The pointed toes and the ribbons bore
The whisper and the yell
The bell's ring brought her to the stand
I send this wish into the canyon
I hold my heart I watch it fly
Each dawn I see a new Melody
Sung from your eyes
