Louise.

     C                    ↓   ↓   ↓G7
They said that Louise was not all bad,
F                     G7(3rd)          C
It was written on the walls and window shades,
    C                    ↓    ↓ ↓G7
And though she'd act the little girl,
F                G7(3rd)                C
A deceiver don't believe her that's her trade.

       Sometimes a bottle perfume,
↑ ↑ ↑F             G7(3rd)      C
       Flowers and maybe some lace,
↑ ↑ ↑F             G7(3rd)           Em(5th) 
       Men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets,
           F7                G7(3rd)
Their intentions were easily traced.
C                      ↓     ↓   ↓G7        
And every body knew at times she cried,
F7                G7                   C
Ah but women like Louise well they get by.

    C                      ↓    ↓  ↓G7        
And every- body thought it kind of sad,
          F          G7(3rd)  C
when they found Louise in her room,
       C                   ↓     ↓     ↓G7
They'd always put her down below their kind,
           F7             G7(3rd)        C
Still some cried when she died that afternoon.
↑ ↑ ↑F             G7(3rd)       C
       Louise rode home on the mail train, 
↑ ↑ ↑F                  G7(3rd)              C
      Some where to the South I heard them say, 
↑ ↑ ↑F           G7(3rd)    Em(5th)  
      Too bad it ended so ugly,
    F7                     G7
Too bad she had to go this way.
        C               ↓    ↓ ↓G7        
And the wind is blowing cold tonight, 
F7                G7      C
So good night Louise, goodnight.
