GA7
Well, they all said Louise was not half bad
CDG
It was written on the walls and window shades
GA7
And how she'd act the little girl
CDG
The deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
CDG
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
CDG
Flowers and maybe some lace
CDEm
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
A7D
Their intentions were easily traced
GA7
Yeah and everybody knew at times she cried
CDG
Ah but women like Louise they get by
GA7
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad
CDG
When they found Louise in her room
GA7
They'd always put her down below their kind
CDG
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
CDG
Louise rode home on the mail train
CDG
Somewhere to the south I heard her say
CDEm
Too bad it ended so ugly
A7D
Too bad she had to go this way
GA7
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight
CDG
Well, goodnight, Louise goodnight
