jeannie c riley - ballad of louise lyrics
i had a love he was mine said he’d love me all the time
i was sure our love was pure if love can be
then one morning without warning truth came calling on me and her name was louise
i needn’t tell you what she said i just wanted to be dead
for she didn’t show mercy for me
you should’ve seen her walk away into his waiting arms that day
and i watched him stoop to kiss louise
[ dobro ]
the hour was late the night was warm i hid the bundle beneath my
arm
the thought of what i’d soon be doing made me freeze
but without fear i found them there just how and where i knew they’d
be
sleeping cradled in his arms was louise
now they close those heavy doors i’ll never leave here anymore
but i dare not beg forgiveness on my knees
for it was done with careful plans she’ll never steal another man
for tomorrow they’ll bury louise
