Her name was Louise
she came from Mississip'
she had a way with her walk
her gown was really hip
I met her on the corner
she was looking mighty fine
well I knew right when she kissed my lips
she was mine
She loved me in the morning
she loved me noon and night
she dressed just like a pretty girl
the girl was out of sight
her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Louise
Well I met her on the street one day
I saw her with my eyes
she looked and said hello to me
I thought I would die
Next morning when she left me
a smile upon my lips
she kissed me and she said good-bye
I watched her crazy hips
She loved me in the morning
she loved me noon and night
she dressed just like a pretty girl
the girl was out of sight
her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Solo
Louise
Well now a year has past
she's been seeing other guys
I never thought a pretty face
could tell so many lies
The guys that she's been seeing
all have her on their minds
but by the time she's done with them
they all look so satisfied
She loved me in the morning
she loved me noon and night
she dressed just like a pretty girl
the girl was out of sight
her name was Louise
and you know she aimed to please
Louise

I got a friend at the bar his name is Ray
and I really don't know
what he's trying to say
His skin is black, mine is white
to me there's no difference
wrong or right
Told me he'd leave
the girl at the curb
Told me never to speak an unkind word
My brother's got rhythm
I got the blues but
Babe we love to live the life that we choose
But now I know what they was trying to say
I gotta change my life
change my ways
Solo
Now I know what they were trying to say
I gotta change my life
change my ways
Now when the night comes babe
you know I'll be found
I'll be playing the blues on every stage in town
And theres a song to be played
and theres a song to be sung
'cause there's a little lovin' boy
in everyone
Solo

I got my baby's love now
know she's got mine
I got my baby's love now
know she's got mine
Well I sit around and stare at her
oh man oh man she sure look fine
My baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
my baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
If the world were like my baby
The good Lord sure would be satisfied
Solo
Looked at other women
changed my mind
compared to my baby
they're a dozen for a dime
My baby sure look fine
her sweet shinin' smile
can turn black dirty water into wine
Solo

Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones
Oh you know I
shivered myself to sleep last night
the cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up and realized that
this ain't no place for me
and I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through my bones
Solo
Some good old friends got together
and they took me away
from this cold old alley babe
to a warm place I could stay
oh I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
I'm so happy to see you all
and that old nasty chill is gone
