The Official Historian On Shirley Jean Berrell Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell 

I've known her since God only knows and I won't tell 

I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell 

And Shirley she knows me just as well 

I can tell you her birthday and her daddy's middle name 

The uncles on her mama's side and the ones they don't claim 

What she's got for Christmas since 1952 

And that's only the beginning of the things I could tell you 

'Cause I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell 

I've known her since God only knows and I won't tell 

I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell 

And Shirley she knows me just as well 

I can tell you her favorite song and where she likes to park 

And why to this very day she's scared of the dark 

How she got her nickname and that scar behind her knee 

If there's anything you need to know about Shirley just ask me 

I know where she's ticklish and her every little quirk 

The funnies she don't read and her number at work 

I know what she stands for and what she won't allow 

The only thing that I don't know is where she is right now 

But I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell 

I've known her since God only knows and I won't tell 

I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell 

And Shirley she knows me just as well 

Oh, Shirley she knows me just as well
