Lulu Walls

(album: The Carter Family Volume 2 - 1935-1941 - 2003)

One evening getting dark we first met at the park
A-sitting by the fountain all alone
I lifted up my hat and then began to chat
She said she'd 'low me to see her at her home

Such a star I've never seen
She's as pretty as a queen
She's as perfect as an angel from above
If she'd only be my wife
I'd live happy all my life
With that aggravating beauty Lula Walls

If she was only mine, I would build a house so fine
And around it so many fences tall
It would make me jealous free that no one else but me
Could gaze upon that beauty Lula Walls

Such a star I've never seen
She's as pretty as a queen
She's as perfect as an angel from above
If she'd only be my wife
I'd live happy all my life
With that aggravating beauty Lula Walls

One evening getting late I met her at the gate
I asked her if she'd wed me in the fall
She only turned away and nothing would she say
That aggravating beauty Lula Walls

Such a star I've never seen
She's as pretty as a queen
She's as perfect as an angel from above
If she'd only be my wife
I'd live happy all my life
With that aggravating beauty Lula Walls
