Jolie Louise 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 jolieJ'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 LouiseTous les matins au soleil
I will work 'til work is done
Tous les matins au soleil
I did work 'til work was doneAnd one day, the foreman said
"Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon
At the mill anymore
Oh Louise, I'm losing my head, I'm losing my headMy 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 seeCarousel 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 mindEn Septembre '63
Kids are gone, and so is Louise
Ontario, they did go
Near la ville de TorontoNow 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
