Lyrics: Julie

Julie, oh, my, Julie, what am I to do, yeah
I’m losing you, I don’t know what to do I feel you slipping away
I’m losing my way with you
Whoa, what could it be, you know it’s just like me to say something wrong
Was I away too long, what did I do

Whoa, Julie, Julie
Julie what am I to do
Julie, Julie
Julie I’m in love with you

Ah, you know I need you
Why because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Don’t take your love away, tell me you’re gonna stay

Ah, I need you badly
Why, I love you madly
Oh, I got to have you darling
Don’t take your love away, tell me that you’re gonna stay

I don’t know when, don’t think I’ve ever been so lost before
Now you’re closing the store on me
Oh, how can I see why you’re avoiding me if you don’t let it out
Tell me what it’s all about, what did I do

Whoa, Julie, Julie
Julie what am I to do
Julie, Julie
Julie, Julie, Julie, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth

Ah, you know I need you
Why, because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, you know I need you
Why, because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, you know I need you
Why, because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You Missed

MINNIE PEARL WALKED ONSTAGE AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY FOR 50 YEARS WITH A $1.98 PRICE TAG ON HER HAT — AND THEN ONE NIGHT, SHE JUST COULDN’T ANYMORE. Here’s something most people don’t think about with Minnie Pearl. That price tag hanging off her straw hat? It wasn’t random. Sarah Cannon — that was her real name — created it as a joke about a country girl too proud of her new hat to take the tag off. And audiences loved it so much that it became the most recognizable prop in country music history. For over fifty years, that tag meant Minnie was here, and everything was going to be fun. So imagine what it felt like when she couldn’t put the hat on anymore. In June 1991, Sarah had a massive stroke. She was 79. And just like that, the woman who hadn’t missed an Opry show in decades was gone from the stage. But here’s what gets me. She didn’t die in 1991. She lived another five years after that stroke, mostly out of the public eye, unable to perform, unable to be “Minnie” the way she’d always been. Her husband Henry Cannon took care of her at their Nashville home. Friends visited, but they said it was hard. The woman who made millions of people laugh couldn’t get through a full conversation some days. Roy Acuff, her old friend from the Opry, kept her dressing room exactly the way she left it. Nobody used it. The hat sat there. She passed on March 4, 1996. And what most people remember is the comedy. The “HOW-DEEE” catchphrase. The big goofy grin. What they don’t remember is that Sarah Cannon was also a serious fundraiser for cancer research. Centennial Medical Center in Nashville named their cancer center after her — not after Minnie, after Sarah. She raised millions and rarely talked about it publicly. There’s a story about the very last time Sarah tried to put on the hat at home, months after the stroke, and what her husband said to her in that moment — it’s the kind of detail that makes you see fifty years of comedy completely differently. Roy Acuff kept Minnie Pearl’s dressing room untouched for years after she left — was that loyalty to a friend, or was he holding a door open for someone he knew was never coming back?
