Louise, Louise

Louise, Louise (Robert Pete Williams, Big Bill Broonzy)
There is something so compelling about the way Brownie
McGhee sings this song. I had to try it.
Louise, you the sweetest gal that I know
Louise, you the sweetest gal that I know
Yeah, you made me walk from Chicago, babe,
down to the Gulf of Mexico
Now, look-a here, Louise,
what you tryin' to do?
tryin' to give 'way my lovin',
and say you love me too
Whoa Louise, honey that will never do
Yeah, you know you can't love me, baby,
not and love some other man too
Louise, I believe,
somebody been fishin' in my pond
catchin' upon my perches,
and grinding up the bone
Whoa Louise, honey that will never do
Yeah, you know, Louise,
I ain't had no lovin' ever since you been gone
Louise, you know you got ways,
like a rattlesnake and a squirrel
Every time you start the lovin',
I declare, out this world
Whoa Louise, baby why don't you bring your clothes back
home?
Yeah, you know, you know, Louise, babe
I ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
Louise, the big boat's up the river,
she's on a bank of sand
Now if she don't strike deep water,
I declare she'll never land
Whoa Louise, honey why don't you hurry home?
you know Louise, babe I ain't had no lovin'
honey since your sweet self been gone
