Jolie Louis - Daniel Lanois

MA LOUISE



FR

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 Lafontaine
Where we can live if you marry me
Une belle maison à Lafontaine
Where we will live you and me
Oh Louise oh oh oh oh
Ma jolie Louise
Tous les matins au soleil
I ( )will work 'til work is done
Tous les matins au soleil
I did work 'til work is done
And one day the foreman said
Jean-Guy we must let you go
Et pis mon nom y'est pas bon
At the mill anymore
Oh Louise I'm losing my head
I'm losing my head
My kids are small 4 and 3
Et la bouteille she's mon amie
I drink the rhum 'till I can't see
It hides the shame Louise does not see
Carousel turns in my head
And I can't hide oh no no no no
And the rage turned in my head
And 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 oh oh oh oh oh
And I remember the days
And the promises that we made
Oh Louise ma jolie Louise
Ma jolie Louise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
