[G] They said Louise was not half [A] bad
It was [C] written on the [D] walls and window [G] shade.
And how she would act the little [A] girl
A de-[C]ceiver, don’t be-[D]lieve her, it’s her [G] trade
And [C] sometimes, a [D7] bottle of [G] perfume
[C] Flowers, then [D7] maybe some [G] lace
[C] Men brought [D7] Louise ten cent [Em] trinkets
Their in-[A]tentions, so easy to [D] trace
And [G] everybody knew at times she’d [A] cry
But they said, [C] women like Lou-[D]ise, they get [G] by

And [G] everybody thought it kinda [A] sad
When they [C] found Lou-[D]ise in her [G] room
Folks would always put her down below their [A] kind
Still some [C] cried, when she [D] died this after-[G]noon.
[C] Louise rode [D7] home on a [G] mail train
[C] somewhere to the [D7] south, I heard them [G] say
Too [C] bad it [D7] ended so [Em] ugly
Too [A] bad she had to go, that [D] way.
And the [G] wind is blowing cold outside [A] tonight
Good [C] night, Lou-[D]ise, good [G] night.
Good [C] night, Lou-[D]ise, good [G] night
