[Verse 1:]
Oh, Louise
Yes, you're the sweetest girl that I know
Don't you know now, Louise
You are the sweetest girl that I know
You made me walk from Chicago
Oh, to the Gulf of Mexico
Now you know Louise
She's like a rolling stone
Every time she leave a man
He had to grieve alone

[Chorus:]
Oh, Louise
Why don't you hurry home?
You know I never had no good loving
Oh, Louise, since you been gone

[Verse 2:]
Got a girl called Mindy
Treat me nice and kind
Don't do what you're doing
'Cos Louise is on my mind

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Now Louise ain't so good looking
And her hair ain't red
But she cooks my breakfast
And brings it to my bed, oh Louise

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Oh Louise, why don't you hurry home?[x2]
You made me walk from Chicago
Oh, to the Gulf of Mexico
