Aint You My Lulu 1900

I met ma baby Lulu
at a ball one night,
A dancing with a coon with kinky hair,
I thought my honey only did it
just for spite,
So I stepped up
to separate the pair,
The other darkey yelled:
"Don't interfere with me,
I'm dancing with the lady I'm to wed,"
I told him, "You're mistaken, coon,
I owns dat gal,"
And turning to my Lulu softly said:

Lulu

Ain't you ma Lulu,
Ain't you ma baby, baby,
Oh, don't I love you, honey,
well maybe, maybe,
Answer me truly,
Say you'se ma lady, lady,
Ain't you ma own Lulu?

Ain't you ma Lulu,
Ain't you ma baby, baby,
Oh, don't I love you, honey,
well maybe, maybe,
Answer me truly,
Say you'se ma lady, lady,
Ain't you ma own Lulu?

I didn't think
she'd answer me the way she did,
I really felt like dropping
through the floor,
She said: "I'm sick and tired of you,
dat ain't no kid,
I never want to see you any more."
The other coon was grinning
and my heart was full,
When Lulu handed back my 'gagement ring,
He put his arms around her
as I turned away,
It broke me up for fair to hear him sing:

Lulu

Ain't you ma Lulu,
Ain't you ma baby, baby,
Oh, don't I love you, honey,
well maybe, maybe,
Answer me truly,
Say you'se ma lady, lady,
Ain't you ma own Lulu?

Ain't you ma Lulu,
Ain't you ma baby, baby,
Oh, don't I love you, honey,
well maybe, maybe,
Answer me truly,
Say you'se ma lady, lady,
Ain't you ma own Lulu?
