     C                              D
They said that Louise was not half bad
       F              G                 C
It was written on the walls and windowshades
                              D 
And how she'd act the little girl
      F               G7                      C
The deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade


F           G           C
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
F               G         C
  Flowers and maybe some lace
F                G            Am
  Men brought Louise ten-cent trinkets
        D7                     G G7
Their intentions were easily traced
    C                             D
And everybody knew at times she cried
        F             G7             C
Ah, but women like Louise, they get by


Break

C                              D
And everybody thought it kinda sad
           F       G            C
When they found Louise in her room
                                     D 
They'd all put her down below their kind
           F              G7             C
Still some cried when she died this afternoon


F              G           C
  Louise rode home on the mail train
F                   G                  C
  Somewhere to the south I heard them say
F             G        Am
  Too bad it ended so ugly
    D7                      G G7
Too bad she had to go that way
    C                       D
The wind is blowin' cold tonight
        F       G7       C
So goodnight Louise, goodnight
