Jolie Louise (Live) Lyrics

 

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 a Lafontaine

Where we can live if you marry me

Une belle maison a Lafontaine

Where we will live you and me

Oh Louise 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 was done

And one day the foreman said

Jean Guy we must let you go

Et puis 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 ami

I drink the rum 'tilI 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 '63

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

And I remember the days

And the promises that we made

 

Oh Louise ma jolie Louise ma jolie Louise
