There is a lady of this name that appears in many old time songs. Anyone have any idea why and how many songs she does appear in.

Must have been some lady, this Lulu gal...........

Could she be related to Nancy from sailor songs? She shows up a lot in sea music.

Sounds like the lovely "Liverpool Lu." Why don't she behave like other girls do?

If Lulu is the 'bad' gal of these songs, is Liza (Jane), who also appears in so many of them, the 'good' gal?
