Letra Louise de Mississippi Fred Mcdowell original

I said, Lou-ee-ise
The sweetest girl I know
I said, Louise
The sweetest girl I know
She called me to warm Chicago
Down the Gulf of Mexico

Now look-a here, Louise
Somebody, fish in my pond
Carryin' all the perches, mama
Grinding all, up my bone

Lord, Louise
Honey, please don't do me wrong
Lord, I ain't had no lovin'
Honey, since Louise been gone

Now look-a here, baby
Across that river long, she's on
Bank a-sand, she don't
Fair deep water, 'clare, she will nev'r
Never land

Lo-ord, Louise
Honey, please don't do me wrong
Lord, I ain't had no lovin'
Honey, since Louise been gone

Now-look-here, made a buoy line
Won't come down, she don't
Fair deep water 'clares, you will'nt, mama
Never land

Lo-oh-oord!
Play us while she'll never land

(guitar)

Another mile
Mama boat made Jackson
Papa lying', hardly 'rrive
Came early mornin'
I swear, mama Lord, late at night

Lord, Louise
Honey, please don't do me wrong
Lord, I ain't had no lovin'
Honey, since Louise been gone

You know yo' ol' hair ain't curly
You know yo ol' teeth ain't pearl
Yeah, ya ain't
Ya' ain't only woman, baby
Gonna share me mama, in this world

Lord, Louise
Honey, please don't do me wrong
Lord, I ain't had no lovin'
Honey, since Louise been gone

I'm go'on tell you somethin', baby
I know you ain't gonna like
Be just time you know
I ain't g'onna take you back

Lord, Louise
Honey, please don't do me wrong
Lord, I had new lovin'
Honey, since Louise been gone.
