Come all you young people And stand close around And listen 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 Elk Horn 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 blowing cold They walked down by the river Still water it runs deep She could tell by the way he looked at her In the bottom she would sleep She threw her arms around him Begging for her life I'll go back to my mother If I can't be your wife Poor Lulie she went missing Nowhere could be found They searched the country over For miles and miles around John Collier joined the army 4 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 thirty 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 paying For the murder of Lulie Vars
