Peculiar Julia 1904 'The Maid and the Mummy'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Nov 2004

In the town of Tuscarora
lived a maiden who was known
as Julia.
Ev'ry fellow in the neighborhood
would give his life to own
Miss Julia.
But she was ev'ry bit as stubborn
as an army mule
and to them all she gave the icy eye
until one fatal day
a stranger came her way
Who swore he'd win her out or die.

Julia, you're peculiar
Julia, you are queer,
Truly, you're unruly
as a Wild Western steer.
Julia, when we're married
Sweetheart, you and I
Julia, yer little mule yer,
I'm goin' to rule yer or die.

Julia, you're peculiar
Julia, you are queer,
Truly, you're unruly
as a Wild Western steer.
Julia, when we're married
Sweetheart, you and I
Julia, yer little mule yer,
I'm goin' to rule yer or die.

When the stranger started courting
all the other fellows quit
Miss Julia.
For they saw it was impossible
for them to make a hit
with Julia.
Their plan had been to jolly her
but when the stranger came
he bossed her 'round
and bullied her instead
He scared her with his bluff
until she cried: "Enough!
I guess you are the man I'll wed."

Julia, you're peculiar
Julia, you are queer,
Truly, you're unruly
as a Wild Western steer.
Julia, when we're married
Sweetheart, you and I
Julia, yer little mule yer,
I'm goin' to rule yer or die.

Julia, you're peculiar
Julia, you are queer,
Truly, you're unruly
as a Wild Western steer.
Julia, when we're married
Sweetheart, you and I
Julia, yer little mule yer,
I'm goin' to rule yer or die.
