Aw, it just stayed over in Lula, ‘til it bid old town, "Goodbye."
Stayed, Lula, biddin' you the town, "Goodbye."
Well, when it come to another day, Lord the uh, Lula well was gone dry
Lord, the citizens around Lula, all was doin' very well
Citizens around Lula, all was doin' very well
Lord, they all got together and says, they done bore a well
I ain't got no money, and I, sure ain't got no home
Lord, I ain't got no money, and I have, sure ain't got no home
The hot weather done come in, parched all the cotton and corn
Oh, look down the country, Lord, it'll make you cry
Whole country, Lord, it'll make you cry
Most everybody, Lord, have a water bar'
Lord, the Lula womens all, puttin' the Lula mens down
