Lulie Vars
Come all you young people And stand close around And little to the story How Lulie Vars got drowned
She loved this young John Collier Engaged to be his wife He ruined her reputation And then he took her life
They went to Elkhorn City About 60 miles away He promised they would marry And their secret it would stay
They went out for a little walk Hand in hand they strolled In the middle of December And the wind was blowin' cold
They walked down by the river Still water, it runs deep She could tell by the look at her In the bottom she would sleep
She threw her arms around him Beggin' for her life, 'I'll go back to my mother, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com If I can't be your wife'
Poor Lulie she went missin' Nowhere could be found They searched the country over For miles and miles around
John Collier joined the army Four months came and passed In the bottom of that river Her body was found at last
They took her from the river To a nearby town That railroad still around her neck Weighed about 30 pounds
When Lulie's mother got the news She was sitting in her home She quickly left her chair To bring her baby home
John Collier was arrested Locked behind the bars He'll spend his whole life payin' For the murder of Lulie Vars
- Special thanks to Erin for sharing the lyric.
