"Jolie Louise"


Ma jolie how do you do, mon nom est Jean Guy Thibault Leroux
I come from east of Gatineau, my name is Jean Guy ma jolie
J'ai une maison à la fontaine, where we can live if you marry me
Une belle maison à la fontaine, where we will live you and me

Oh Louise oh oh oh oh oh

Tous les matins au soleil I will work till work is done
Tous les matins au soleil I didi work till work was done
And one day the foreman said Jean Guy we must let you go
Et puis mon nom est pas bon at the mill anymore

Oh Louise I'm losing my headm I'm losing my head

My kids are small four and three et la bouteille she's mon amie
I drink the rum till I can't see, it hides the shame
Louise does not see a carousel turns in my head
And I can't hide oh no no no no

And the rage turned in my head on Louise
I struck her down down on the ground
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind
En septembre soixante trois kids are gone and so is Louise
Ontario they did go near la ville de Toronto
Now my tears they roll down, tous les jours uh uh uh uh uh
And I remenber the days ans the promises that we made

Oh Louise ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
Ma jolie how do you do, mon nom est Jean Guy Thibault Leroux
