Louise is the sweetest gal I know Louise is the sweetest gal I know She made walk from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico Now, look-a-here, Louise, what you tryin' to do? You tryin' to give some man my lovin', and me too, now You know, Louise, baby, that will never do Now, you know you can't love me and love some other man, too Louise, I believe somebody, baby, is fishin' in my pond They catchin' all my perches, grindin' up their bones Louise, baby, whyn't you hurry home? I ain't had no lovin', oh, since Louise been gone Louise, you know you got ways like a rattlesnake in his coil Ev'y time you go to lovin', I swear it's out of this world Louise, baby, whyn't you hurry home? I ain't had no lovin' since my Louise been gone Now Louise, the big boat is up the river, on a bank of sand If she don't strike deep water, I swear she'll never land Louise is the sweetest gal I know She made me walk from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico
