LOUISE
(Paul Siebel)

Recorded by :
Paul Siebel; Leo Kottke; Bonnie Raitt; Linda Ronstadt.


They all said Louise was not half bad 
It was written on the walls and window shades 
And how she'd act the little girl 
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of Perfume 
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise 10 cent trinkets 
The intentions were easily traced 
And everybody knew at times she cried 
But woman like Louise well they get by

solo

And everybody thought it kinda sad
When they found Louise in her room
They'd all put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Somewhere to the south I heard them say
Too bad it ended so ugly
Too bad she had to go this way
But the wind is blowin cold tonight
Good night Louise good night
