Ballad Of Louise lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jeannie C. Riley Album: Harper Valley P.T.A.
Lyrics
I had a love he was mine said he'd love me all the time I was sure our love was pure if love can be Then one morning without warning truth came calling on me and her name was louise I needn't tell you what she said I just wanted to be dead For she didn't show mercy for me You should've seen her walk away into his waiting arms that day And I watched him stopped to kiss louise [ dobro ] The hour was late the night was warm I hid the bundle beneath my arm The thought of what I'd soon be doing made me freeze But without fear I found them there just how and where I knew they'd be Sleeping cradled in his arms was louise Now they close those heavy doors I'll never leave here anymore But I dare not beg forgiveness on my knees For it was done with careful plans she'll never steal another man For tomorrow they'll bury louise
