Lyrics Little Luli - Gillian Welch

Little Luli

How many nickels does it take
To see Little Lulu’s body shake?
It takes a nickel, it’ll take a dime
To see Little Lulu’s body shine
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
All of the boys in Lulaville
Know where to spend a dollar bill
Feet a-poundin' like a .44
Dust comin' up through the cracks in the floor
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
Where did you get your diamond ring?
All the other pretty things?
Got the diamond from candyman
I wanna hear from him again
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
I’ve been down in Bowling Green
I’ve been far as Abilene
Anytime that I’m in town
I want to see miss Lulu Brown
Dance Little Luli
Shine and sing
Dance Little Luli
Trying to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
