Louise... by Paul Siebel

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

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