Bula Jean

Everybody laughed, 'cause her name was Bula Jean But she had a heart that was made of pure gold And her smile could move the morning clouds Her eyes, they were mirrors of happiness Everybody laughed, 'cause her face was marked and scarred And Bula's folk couldn't afford for her to wear the latest of styles But Bula's mind was elevated on higher things Bula walked around the schoolyard, happy all the time Oh Bula, I remember your smile No no no no no, your soul will never grow old Oh Bula Jean, no oh-ho, Bula Jean She was like a diamond, uncut and in the raw Oh, and at first glance for most folk it was easy to frown But Bula was in touch with a man, that lived on a higher plane And one Thursday, when Bula was sleeping He sent his angels, and they carried Bula away And if the hereafter will allow two friends to meet Bula Jean, you know, you know, you know You know I wanna see ya I sho', oh oh oh woo!
