G                                       A7 
Well, they all said Louise was not half bad 
      C                D                G 
It was written on the walls and window shades 
G                             A7 
And how she'd act the little girl 
     C              D                       G 
The deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade 

C           D            G 
Sometimes a bottle of perfume 
C           D          G 
Flowers and maybe some lace 
C           D                Em 
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets 
        A7                    D 
Their intentions were easily traced 

        G                            A7 
Yeah and everybody knew at times she cried 
      C           D                G 
Ah but women like Louise  they get by 


G                                  A7 
Yes and everybody thought it kinda sad 
         C       D             G 
When they found Louise in her room 
 G                                     A7 
They'd always put her down below their kind 
           C               D             G    
Still some cried when she died this afternoon 

C           D                G 
Louise rode home on the mail train 
C                D                 G 
Somewhere to the south I heard her say 
C          D         Em 
Too bad it ended so ugly 
    A7                    D 
Too bad she had to go this way 

          G                     A7 
Ah but the wind is blowing cold tonight 
      C          D          G 
Well, goodnight, Louise goodnight
