Jolie Louise

歌詞

Ma jolie how do you do? Mon nom est Jean Guy Thibault Leroux I come from east of Gatineau My name is Jean Guy, ma jolie J'ai une maison à Lafontaine Where we can live if you marry me Une belle maison à Lafontaine Where we will live you and me Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise Tous les matins au soleil I will work till work is done Tous les matins au soleil I did work till work was done And one day the foreman said Jean Guy we must let you go Et puis mon nom est pas bon At the mill any more Oh Louise, I'm losing my head, I'm losing my head My kids are small, four and three Et la bouteille she's mon amie I drank the rum till I can't see It hides the shame Louise does not see A carousel turns in my head And I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no And the rage turned in my head And Louise, I struck her down, down on the ground I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind En septembre soixante trois Kids are gone and so is Louise Ontario they did go Near la ville de Toronto Now my tears they roll down Tous les jours And I remember the days And the promises that we made Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
