Louise Lyrics - Sweet Forgiveness - Bonnie Raitt

They all said 'Louise was not half bad' 

It was written on the walls & window shades 

and how she'd act 

a little girl 

the deceiver, don't believe her, 

that's her trade 

Sometimes a bottle of perfume 

flowers, and maybe some lace 

men bought Louise ten cent trinkets 

their intentions were easily traced

Everybody thought it kind of sad 

when they found Louise in her room 

They'd all put her down 

below their kind 

still some cried when she died 

that afternoon 

Louis rode home on a mail train 

somewhere to the south I heard them say 

'It's too bad it ended so ugly, 

Too bad she had to go that way

But the wind is blowin' cold tonight 

Goodnight Louise, Goodnight 

Yes, the winds' blowin' cold tonight 

goodnight Louise, good-night...
