Lulu Wall - Original - The Carter Family

One evening getting dark we first met at the park

A-sittin' 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
