THEY ALL SAID LOUISE WAS NOT HALF BAD
IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALLS AND THE WINDOW SHADES
AND HOW SHE'D ACT THE LITTLE GIRL
THE DECEIVER, DON'T BELIEVE HER, THAT'S HER TRADE
SOMETIMES A BOTTLE OF PERFUME
FLOWERS AND MAYBE SOME LACE
MEN BROUGHT LOUISE 10 CENT TRINKETS
THEIR INTENTIONS WERE EASILY TRACED
NOW EVERYBODY THOUGHT IT KINDA SAD
WHEN THEY FOUND LOUISE IN HER ROOM
THEY'D ALL PUT HER DOWN BELOW THEIR KIND
STILL SOME CRIED WHEN SHE DIED THIS AFTERNOON
LOUISE RODE HOME ON THE MAIL TRAIN
SOMEWHERE TO THE SOUTH I HEARD 'EM SAY
TOO BAD IT ENDED SO UGLY
TOO BAD SHE HAD TO GO THAT WAY
BUT THE WIND IS BLOWIN COLD TONIGHT
GOOD NIGHT LOUISE GOOD NIGHT
