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


G           A             D 
Sometimes a bottle of Perfume  
G           A          D 
Flowers and maybe some lace 
G           A                Bm 
Men brought Louise 10 cent trinkets  
      E                   A 
The intentions were easily traced  
    D                       E 
And everybody knew at times she cried  
    G          A                     D 
But woman like Louise  well they get by 


PIANO SOLO G A D  G A D  G A Bm  E A   


D                        E        
And everybody thought it kinda sad 
          G     A         D 
When they found Louise in her room 
D                                   E 
They'd all put her down below their kind 
           G          A             D 
Still some cried when she died this afternoon 


G           A           D 
Louise rode home on the mail train 
G                A                   D 
Somewhere to the south I heard  them say 
G          A        Bm 
Too bad it ended so ugly 
    E                    A 
Too bad she had to go this way 
D                           E 
But the wind is blowin cold tonight 
     G     A           D 
Good night Louise good night
