Sweet Louise

lyrics

Sweet Louise tried to kill me
with the wave of her hair
pulled me upstairs and fell upon me
oh the perfume she wears!

got to asking too many questions
all the clouds turned to grey
left me standing on 42nd
then it started to rain

oh Louise, baby where you going I'm on your side
talk to me, you can have it your way one more time
 
she's fading fast, there's no one to cry to
sometimes she dreams of a life in the country
on her way back home from her connection
all her troubles grow like cracks in the pavement

sweet Louise works the corner
hides the pearls in her sleeve
across the east side of the Bowery
little woman don't weep

oh Louise try to see it my way it's not so bad
come with me, you don't need the money, forget the past

late at night, she tramps through the alley
looking so sad as she's pressed against the wall
on the way back down from her reflection
all her tears run out, she's heading my direction
