about

A traditional country blues. Dodgy girls always seem to be named "Lulu" in these old songs. The name probably sounds vaguely French.

lyrics

1. Where have you been, my pretty little girl?
Where have you been so long?
I've been in the pen with them rough and rowdy men
And honey I'll be goin' back again

CHO Hop high, hop high
Hop high, my Lulu gal
Hop high, hop high
Hop high, my Lulu gal

2. Where did you get those high top shoes
And the dress that you wear so fine?
I got my shoes from a railroad man
And my dress from a driver in the mine

CHO Hop high, hop high
Hop high, my Lulu gal
Hop high, hop high
Hop high, my Lulu gal

3. I'll pawn you my watch and I'll pawn you my chain
I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
To pay my little Lulu's fine
I'll pawn you my wagon and my team

CHO Hop high, hop high
Hop high, my Lulu gal
Hop high, hop high
Hop high, my Lulu gal
