Louise Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 They all said 'Louise was not half bad'

2 It was written on the walls & window shades

3 And how she'd act

4 A little girl

5 The deceiver, don't believe her,

6 That's her trade

7 Sometimes a bottle of perfume

8 Flowers, and maybe some lace

9 Men bought Louise ten cent trinkets

10 Their intentions were easily traced

11 Everybody thought it kind of sad

12 When they found Louise in her room

13 They'd all put her down

14 Below their kind

15 Still some cried when she died

16 That afternoon

17 Louis rode home on a mail train

18 Somewhere to the south I heard them say

19 'It's too bad it ended so ugly,

20 It's too bad she had to go that'

21 But the wind is blowin' cold tonight

22 Goodnight Louise, Goodnight

23 Yes, the winds' blowin' cold tonight

24 Goodnight Louise, good-night...
