(Everybody Throws You Away) Louise

(Everybody Throws You Away) Louise - Kreg Viesselman

Grass is turning brown

Cold hard hail's a-comin' down

And I'm leaning heavy south

In a northbound wind

With the dark November skies

And the dark bags hung beneath your eyes

No telling exactly where you've been

And it's a shame it's a shame it's a goddamned shame

Everybody throws you 'way Louise

It's a shame it's a shame it's a goddamned shame

Everybody throws you 'way Louise

Oh Louise you pretty thing

The Blue tick bays

And the crickets sing

Every time the moon is up above

You can lead a horse to water

You can even raise that horse's daughter

But you can't force a selfish man to love

Oh hungry eyed Louise

You've a tender heart

That no one sees

Like a baby bird

You hide it for your own

Would you show it to me now

I'll try to pay you back some how

By seeing that you never sit alone

And it's a shame it's a shame it's a goddamned shame

Everybody throws you 'way Louise

It's a shame it's a shame it's a goddamned shame

Everybody throws you 'way Louise
