VERSE 1: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JULIE
THE QUESTION I'VE ASKED FOR SO LONG
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG WE WERE LOVERS
WE NEVER KNEW PLANS COULD GO WRONG
ONE NIGHT I WENT CALLING ON JULIE
HER FATHER SAID JULIE IS GONE
YOU'LL NEVER FIND HER IN THIS HOUSE AGAIN
GET OFF OF MY LAND AND GO HOME

VERSE 2: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JULIE
MY DARLING THE LOVE OF MY YEARS
THE NEIGHBORS SAID THEY NEVER SAW HER AGAIN
THE WHOLE TOWN SAID SHE DISAPPEARED
I ASKED EVERYBODY ABOUT HER
I TRIED EVERYTHING I KNEW HOW
THE YEARS PASSED AWAY AND I WONDERED
WHERE'S JULIE WHAT'S SHE DOING NOW

VERSE 3: ONE NIGHT AS I LAY ON MY PILLOW
THE TELEPHONE RANG BY MY BED
IS THIS MR. KING IN VIRGINIA
THE VOICE OF A YOUNG LADY SAID
SHE SAID I'LL BE DOWN AT THE STATION
I'LL BE ON THE NINE O'CLOCK TRAIN
COME DOWN AND MEET ME AND I'LL TELL A STORY
A STORY TO EASE ALL YOUR PAIN

VERSE 4: I HURRIED ON DOWN TO THE STATION
WHEN I SAW HER THERE IN THE LIGHT
IT LOOKED LIKE A VISION OF JULIE
HER HAIR AND HER EYES SHINING BRIGHT
SHE REACHED OUT HER HAND AND SHE TOUCHED ME
SAID DADDY DON'T LOOK SO FORLORN
I AM WHAT HAPPENED TO JULIE
SHE DIED ON THE DAY I WAS BORN

VERSE 3: THERE'S ONE DOOR THAT'S CLOSING ANOTHER STANDS OPEN
LIKE THE WILD GEESE THERE'S A TIME TO MOVE ON
AS GOD SENDS THE SONG BIRDS TO WAKE US EACH MORNING
HE'LL SEND AN ANGEL TO CARRY US HOME

REPEAT CHORUS
