They all said Louise was not half bad 
       A              B                E
It was written on the walls and window shades 
E                            F#7
And how she'd act the little girl 
  A                 B                     E
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
A           B             E
Sometimes a bottle of Perfume 
A           B          E
Flowers and maybe some lace
A           B                C#m
Men brought Louise 10 cent trinkets 
      F#                   B
The intentions were easily traced 
    E                           F#7
And everybody knew at times she cried 
    A          B                     E
But woman like Louise  well they get by

solo

E                              F#7       
And everybody thought it kinda sad
          A     B             E
When they found Louise in her room
E                                   F#7
They'd all put her down below their kind
           A              B             E
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
A           B           E
Louise rode home on the mail train
A                B                   E
Somewhere to the south I heard  them say
A          B        C#m
Too bad it ended so ugly
    F#7                    B
Too bad she had to go this way
E                           F#7
But the wind is blowin cold tonight
     A     B           E
Good night Louise good night
