I had a gal and her name was Lou,
thought unto me dat girl was true,
but with another coon she flew,
it almost broke my heart in two.
I went to de place where she resides,
and for dat wench I loudly cried,
somebody hollered from inside,
"Who do you want?" and I replied.

I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I loves her true, indeed I do.
I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I'd rather die than lose Lulu.

I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I loves her true, indeed I do.
I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I'd rather die than lose Lulu.

Up to de door like a cat I ran,
there stood a dang'rous big black man,
had a piece of lead pipe in his hand,
I drew my gun, de fight began,
De coon took de lead pipe beat my head,
left me a laying dere for dead,
when I came too that coon had fled,
den I got up and loudly said:

I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I loves her true, indeed I do.
I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I'd rather die than lose Lulu.

I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I loves her true, indeed I do.
I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I'd rather die than lose Lulu.

Round dat dere house until dark I staved,
I sharpened up my razor blade,
Den a big hole in de door I made,
crawled inside while my plans I laid,
I sneaked up de stairs with stealthy tread,
carved the big coon and thought him dead,
den with my Lulu off I fled,
and as we left dat house I said:

I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I loves her true, indeed I do.
I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I'd rather die than lose Lulu.

I'se got my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I loves her true, indeed I do.
I want my Lulu, my baby Lou,
I'd rather die than lose Lulu.
