DThey all said Louise was not half Ebad 
It was Gwritten on the Awalls and window Dshades 
DAnd how she'd act the little Egirl 
A Gdeceiver, don't beAlieve her, that's her Dtrade
GSometimes a Abottle of PerfDume 
GFlowers and Amaybe some Dlace
GMen brought ALouise 10 cent trBminkets 
The inEtentions were easily Atraced 
And Deverybody knew at times Eshe cried 
But Gwoman like ALouise  well they get Dby
PIANO SOLO  G   A    D   G   A    D   G   A    Bm   E    A  
DAnd everybody thought it Ekinda sad
When they Gfound ALouise in Dher room
DThey'd all put her down below their Ekind
Still some Gcried when Ashe died this Dafternoon
GLouise rode Ahome on the Dmail train
GSomewhere to the Asouth I heard  them Dsay
GToo bad it Aended so Bmugly
Too Ebad she had to go thiAs way
DBut the wind is blowin cold Etonight
Good Gnight ALouise good Dnight
