When Lulu Belle Hit Town

For all the world’s attention
She picked a tumble-down
old village off the road maps
when Lulu Belle hit town.
The boys all paid attention
to her beauty tightly wound.
She lingered near their wallets
when Lulu Belle hit town.
Long winter landscape dreaming
stimulation for the clown
then up the ante once again
since Lulu Belle hit town.
How could she be so heartless?
How could she let them down?
Hot love affairs soared high, then crashed
When Lulu Belle hit town.
She never made a promise
She only hung around
The men folk did the rest of it
When Lulu Belle hit town.
And broken hearted acres
of tears and chronic frown
left hayseeds crying in their beer
When Lulu Belle left town.
