John Prine - Lulu Walls lyrics

One evening getting dark

We first met at the park

Just sitting by the fountain all alone

I lifted up my hat

And then began to chat

She said she'd allow me to see her at her home

Chorus:

Such a star I've never seen

She's as pretty as the queen

She's as perfect as an angel from above

If she'd only be my wife

I'd live happy all me life

With that aggravating beauty Lulu Walls.

If she were only mine

I'd build a house so fine

And around it so many fences tall

It would make me jealously

To think that none but me

Could gaze upon that beauty Lulu Walls.

Repeat Chorus:

One evening getting late

Well, I met her at the gate

I asked her if she'd wed me in the fall

But she only turned away

And nothing would she say

That aggravating beauty Lulu Walls.

Repeat Chorus:

With that aggravating beauty Lulu Walls.
