Louise - Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Tom Waits

They say you’re seeing someone, you’re wearing his ring

They say you laughed when you heard my name

They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near

They say he’ll buy you anything

Tell me am I foolish, I don’t believe these stories

Darling, I’ll be coming home soon

Louise, Louise, if it’s true

Tell it, tell it to me

Well, I know you will not see me, but I hear you have a daughter

I hear she has my eyes

They say she calls him «father», and that he’s proud of her

And that he believes all of your lies

But for all your faithless beauty, I give all my tomorrows

And if you’re still thinking of me

Louise, Louise, if it’s true

Tell it, tell it to me

Took a job in Tennessee

To build a life for us

Give a kiss to win a heart

Take a kiss to break apart

They say you’re seeing someone, you’re wearing his ring

They say you laughed when you heard my name

They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near

They say he’ll buy you anything

Well, tell me am I foolish, I don’t believe these stories

Darling, I’ll be coming home soon

Louise, Louise, if it’s true

Tell it, tell it to me

Oh Louise, Louise, if it’s true

Tell it, tell it to me

Oh Louise, Louise, if it’s true

Tell it, tell it to me
