G A7
Well, they all said Louise was not half bad
C D G
It was written on the walls and window shades
G A7
And how she'd act the little girl
C D G
The deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
C D G
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
C D G
Flowers and maybe some lace
C D Em
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
A7 D
Their intentions were easily traced
G A7
Yeah and everybody knew at times she cried
C D G
Ah but women like Louise they get by
G A7
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
C D G
When they found Louise in her room
G A7
They'd always put her down below their kind
C D G
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
C D G
Louise rode home on the mail train
C D G
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
C D Em
Too bad it ended so ugly
A7 D
Too bad she had to go this way
G A7
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
C D G
Well, goodnight, Louise goodnight
