Lyrics Little Luli - Gillian Welch

How many nickels does it take
To see little Luli's body shake?
Takes a nickel, it'll take a dime
To see little Luli's body shake

Dance little Luli
Shout and sing
Dance little Luli
Tryin' 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
Shout and sing
Dance little Luli
Tryin' to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring

Where did you get your diamond ring?
All of the other pretty things?
Got the diamond from a candyman
I wanna hear from him again

Dance little Luli
Shout and sing
Dance little Luli
Tryin' 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 wanna see Miss Lulu Brown

Dance little Luli
Shout and sing
Dance little Luli
Tryin' to get to heaven 'fore the church bells ring
