Guy Logsden records about a dozen verses, in The Whorehouse Bells Were Ringing: and other songs cowboys sing, for "My Lulu Gal." Alternate titles noted include "Lula," "My Lulu," "Bang Away, My Lulu," Bang, Bang Lulu," "She Is a Lulu," "and many more."

Collection notes indicate the first printed reference to "Lulu" in cowboy song is from 1902, when Owen Wister has the hero in The Virginian sing one verse. The verse used is commonly known, but Wister stated "that the other 78 verses were unprintable."

Logsdon also relates that "Lulu/Lula" was immensely popular with the military personnel of many nations during the WWI era, and that Anthony Hopkins in Songs From the Front and Rear (1979) and C.W. "Bill" Getz in The Wild Blue Yonder (1986) include "the uncensored Lula known and loved by servicemen."

Logsden relates several verses to "The Darby Ram," and sees a relationship to "Ten Broeck and Mollie" (1878?) He sees at least one verse as derivative from "Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms."

He also comments that the "Lula or Lulu" that appeared in John Lomax's 1935 edition Cowboy Songs and Other Country Ballads turned Lula into something entirely foreign to the character known to decades of military men (An accusation not otherwise foreign to Lomax's collections.)

Logsdon suggests that "Gershon Legman probably found more versions than anyone else," but as Legman is now deceased with publishers still refusing his works it's unlikely that his collection will appear.

Logsden reports that Cray also included "a greater diversity of travel and song lineages than I have shown" in The Erotic Muse, but they may have been omitted from the second edition that I have, as they're not in my "index of holdings."

The older versions apparently appeared as "straight songs," and the popular "jump to chorus" in place of the implied "bad word" is a more recent folk (children's) variation(?). Verses given by Logsdon are "rather plain vanilla" and probably are not quite what's wanted here.
