Lulu Walls       (Listen to original song)

 

             A                                     D                       A  

1. One evening getting dark, we first met at the park,

                                              E

    sitting by the fountain all alone.

      A                                  D                     A  

    I lifted up my hat, and then began to chat,

                                         E                     A

    she said she'd love to see me at her home.

 

               D                                             A

Such a star I've never seen, she's as pretty as a queen,

                                                          E

she's as perfect as an angel from above.

             A                                    D                  A

If she'll only be my wife, I'll live happy all my life,

                                     E                   A

with that aggravating beauty, Lulu Walls.

 

         A                                          D                       A

2. If she was only mine, I would build a house so fine,

                                              E

    around it so many fences tall.

                    A                                       D                       A

    It would make me jealous free, that no one else but me

                                         E                   A

    could gaze upon that beauty, Lulu Walls.    + CHORUS

 

             A                                  D                    A

3. One evening getting late, I met her at the gate,

                                                            E

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

             A                                  D                           A

    She only turned away, and nothing would she say,

                                   E                  A

    that aggravating beauty, Lulu Walls.     + CHORUS
