Ballad of Louise Lyrics & Tabs by Jeannie C. Riley
Ballad of Louise
guitar chords 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
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
