As a matter of course, I went to work up North on the rigs in amongst the woods
The boys and I were young, so to have some fun, we came home we could
One Friday night, under a yellow light I saw an old friend at the bar
And to my surprise, I soon realized that girl just stole my heart
Please, please Louise, say that you'll never leave
Cause all the boys and me, are back in town next week
We found-ourselves alone, so we travelled home in the back of a cab that night
I said I love you so, but I gotta go, I'm racing to catch a flight
UP North again, hare with- my friends, working 7 days a week
And I know it pays, but I count the days, till her and I next meet
Please, please Louise, say that you'll never leave
Cause all the boys and me, are back in town next week
