Louise, Louise Blues
by 
Big Bill Broonzy 
recording of March 19 1952 
from House Rent Stomp (Blues Encore CD 52007), 
Louise, you the sweetest gal I know 
Louise, you the sweetest gal I know 
Yeah, you made me walk, walk from Chicago, baby, 
down to the Gulf of Mexico 
Now, look-a here, Louise, 
what you tryin' to do? 
You tryin' to give 'way my lovin', 
say you love me too 
Whoa Louise, baby that will never do 
Yeah, you know, you know you can't love Big Bill, baby, 
not and love some other man too 
Louise, I believe, 
somebody been fishin' in my pond 
They been catchin' all my perches, 
grinding up the bone 
Whoa Louise, baby that will never do 
Yeah, you know, you know, Louise, 
I ain't had no lovin' since you been gone 
Louise, you know you got ways, 
like a rattlesnake and a squirrel 
Every time you start the lovin', 
I declare, it's out of this world 
Whoa Louise, baby why don't bring your clothes back home? 
Yeah, you know, you know, Louise, 
I ain't had no lovin' since you been gone 
Louise, the big boat's up the river, 
she's on a bank of sand 
Now if she don't strike deep water, 
I declare she'll never land 
Whoa Louise, baby why don't you hurry home? 
Yeah, you know, you know Louise, 
I ain't had no lovin' since you been gone
