(john lee hooker)
oh louise, yes you're the sweetest girl i know.
don't you know now louise, you are the sweetest girl that i know.
you made me run from chicago
oh, to the gulf of mexico.
now you know louise,
she's like a rolling stone.
every time she leave a man,
he has to grieve alone.
oh louise, why don't you hurry home?
you know, i never had no good loving,
oh louise, since you've been gone.
got a girl called mamie,
treat me nice and kind.
i don't care what she do
because louise is on my mind.
[chorus]
louise ain't so good looking
and her hair ain't red,
but she cooks my breakfast
and i bring it to my bed.
[chorus]
oh louise, why don't you hurry home?
oh louise, why don't you hurry home?
you made me run from chicago
oh, to the gulf of mexico. |
