Little Luli - Gillian Welch

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
