Said he'd love me all the time

And her name  was Louise

D7D7      G+G         C majorC
  I needn't tell you what she said
    G+G      C majorC
I just wanted to be dead

For she didn't show mercy for me
       G+G       C majorC
You should've seen her walk away
     G+G         C majorC
Into his waiting arms that day
   G+G      D7D7         G+G
And I watched him stopped to kiss Louise

🎸 Verse 3:
C majorC       G+G         C majorC
 The hour was late the night was warm
     G+G         C majorC
I hid the bundle beneath my arm
        G+G               D7D7
The thought of what I'd soon be doing made me freeze
      G+G         C majorC
But without fear I found them there
       G+G          C majorC
Just how and where I knew they'd be
     G+G       D7D7     G+G
Sleeping cradled in his arms was Louise

🎸 Verse 4:
D7D7     G+G         C majorC
  Now they close those heavy doors
      G+G       C majorC
I'll never leave here anymore
   G+G               D7D7
But I dare not beg forgiveness on my knees
      G+G         C majorC
For it was done with careful plans
       G+G       C majorC
She'll never steal another man
   G+G       D7D7   G+G  C majorC  G+G
For tomorrow they'll bury Louise
