Louise

(앨범: How Come The Sun - 1971)

People coming in to see Louise
Coming quietly by twos and by threes
Some are standing some are down on their knees
Louise ain't gonna make it no more

Her mama has her head down low
Her daddy says he told her so
Her lover has to turn and go
Louise ain't gonna make it no more

"Louise," somebody said this morning
"Louise, you were the best we had
Louise, I won't look for no reason
And I won't cry 'til I get home"

Lotta people said they knew her well
They were buddies in the Birmingham cell
You could ask her but she'd never tell
Now Louise ain't gonna make it no more

"Louise," somebody said this morning
"Louise, you were the best we had
Louise, I won't look for no reason
And I won't cry 'til I get home"

People coming in to see Louise
Coming quietly by twos and by threes
Some are standing some are down on their knees
Louise ain't gonna make it no more
