They Call said Louise was not half D7bad,
It was Fwritten on the G7walls and window Cshades,
And how she'd act the little D7girl,
A Fdeceiver don't G7believe her that's her Ctrade.
FSometimes a G7bottle Cperfume,
FFlowers or G7maybe some Clace,
FMen brought G7Louise ten-cent Amtrinkets,
Their inD7tentions were easily Gtraced.
CAnd everybody knew sometimes she D7cried,
FAh, women like G7Louise, well they get Cby.
F    G7    C
F    G7    C
F    G7    Am
D7         G
CEverybody thought it kind of D7sad,
when they Ffound LouG7ise in her Croom,
They'd all put her down below their D7kind,
Still some Fcried when she G7died that afterCnoon.
FLouise rode G7home on the Cmail train, 
FSome where down G7South I heard them Csay, 
FToo bad it G7ended so Amugly,
Too D7bad she had to go this Gway.
CAh, the wind is blowing colder D7now, 
Good Fnight G7Louise, good Cnight.
