[Verse 1] One evening getting dark we first met at the park A-sitting by the fountain all alone I lifted up my hat and then began to chat She said she'd 'low me to see her at her home [Chorus] Such a star I've never seen She's as pretty as a queen She's as perfect as an angel from above If she'd only be my wife I'd live happy all my life With that aggravating beauty Lula Walls [Verse 2] If she was only mine, I would build a house so fine And around it so many fences tall It would make me jealous free that no one else but me Could gaze upon that beauty Lula Walls [Chorus] [Verse 3] One evening getting late I met her at the gate I asked her if she'd wed me in the fall She only turned away and nothing would she say That aggravating beauty Lula Walls [Chorus]
