Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Just to lay little Lulie down

The first time I saw little Lulie
She was standing in the still house door
Brogan shose all in her hand
An her stockin' feet on the floor

* Rerfrain

Wake up, wake up, little Lulie
And go get me my gun
I ain't no man for trouble
But I'll die before I'll run

* Refrain

Last time I saw little Lulie
She was standing on the banks of the sea
Two pistols strapped round her body
And a banjo on her knee

* Refrain

Wake up, wake up, little Lulie
What makes you sleep so sound
The highway robbers are comin
Gonna tear your playhouse down

* Refrain
