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.
