Now ever since Louisa, been gone
My life don't seem the same
Now ever since Louisa, been gone
My life don't seem the same
Now, you know it really breaks my heart, mm
To hear anybody call Miss Louisa, names
Now, Miss Louisa, mistreated me
And she drove me from her do'
Now, that Miss Louisa, she mistreated me
Lord, an she drove me from her do'
Now, that will be alright with me
Louisa, you have got to reap just what you sow, now
Now, Louisa, you know I have been
Not the very best that I could of
Now Louisa, you know I haven't been
Not the very best that I could
Now then if you don't treat me no better, mm
Lord, I sure do wish you would
(harmonica, mandolin & guitar)
Now, but that will be, all right
Louisa, you will come back home, some day
Now, but that will be, all right
Louisa, you will come back home some day
Now, but I'm scared that when you get back
Louisa, you ain't gonna have no place to stay.
