Little Lulie

歌詞

Wake up, wake up, little Lulie, what makes you sleep so sound? The highway robber's coming to burn your playhouse down If I had minded Daddy, Lord, I wouldn't been here today Drinking wine and good whiskey has caused me to run away I'll go up some dark hollow where the sun don't never shine There I'll sit with another man's woman, and I'll know she will never be mine I'll build me a steeple, up on the mountain so high So I can see little Lulie once more before I die I dreamt I saw little Lulie, setting by the sea An empty glass beside her and a .44 at her knee Young girls, young girls take warning, now take this warning from me Don't never leave your father for a gambling man like me The last time I saw little Lulie, she had a wine glass in her hand Drinking up her troubles and courting some other man Now if you see little Lulie, just tell her I am dead I'm lying in a lonely graveyard with a tombstone at my head
