Old Jim killed Lula 

On a Friday night 

Old Jim killed Lula 

On a Friday 

On a Friday night, Lord 

Old Jim got ninety 

Steam got ninety-nine 

Old Jim got ninety 

Steam got ninety 

Steam got ninety-nine 

Lord, Lord 

Ten thousand people 

At one buryin' ground 

Ten thousand people 

At one buryin' 

At one buryin' ground 

Lord, Lord 

Just to see undertaker 

Let po' Lula down 

Just to see the undertaker 

Ooh Lordy, old Lula 

Take old Lula down 

Well, the church bell ringin' 

Hease went drivin' slow 

Well, the church bell ringin' 

Well, went drivin' 

Hearse went drivin' slow 

Lord, Lord 

I hate so bad, Lord 

Keep old Lula all gone 

I hates her bad ass 

Sleep on Lula 

Sleep on Lu - la.
