Some said that Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And though she'd act the little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume,
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
And everybody knew at times she cried
But women like Louise they get by
And everybody thought it awful sad
When they found Louise in her room
And though they put her down below their kind
Still some cried when she died this afternoon
Louise rode home on the mail train
Back down south I heard some say
Too bad it ended so ugly,
Too bad she had to go this way
The wind is blowing cold tonight
So good night Louise, good night"
