Louise Songtext
von John Lee Hooker
Louise Songtext
Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Come and walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico
I said, "Now, look a-here now, Louise
The big boat′s up the river
On a bag of sand
Never strike deep water, God knows
This boat will never land"
I said, "Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Come and walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico"
I said, "Now, look a-here now, Louise
Somebody's doin′ to me
Catchin' my white perches, I know
And grinding up the bone"
I said, "Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Come and walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico"
Let's walk a while now, lass
Yes, I walk so long
My feet are sore, tired
I just get up to a man and kept on walkin′
Tryin′ to find that woman
Louise, Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Oh Lord, oh Louise
You the sweetest girl I know
You comin' to walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico
Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Come and walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico
I said, "Now, look a-here now, Louise
The big boat′s up the river
On a bag of sand
Never strike deep water, God knows
This boat will never land"
I said, "Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Come and walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico"
I said, "Now, look a-here now, Louise
Somebody's doin′ to me
Catchin' my white perches, I know
And grinding up the bone"
I said, "Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Come and walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico"
Let's walk a while now, lass
Yes, I walk so long
My feet are sore, tired
I just get up to a man and kept on walkin′
Tryin′ to find that woman
Louise, Louise, you the sweetest girl I know
Oh Lord, oh Louise
You the sweetest girl I know
You comin' to walk from Chicago
To the Gulf in Mexico
