LOUISE
("Big Boy" Teddy Edwards)

Standin' on the corner of Sixth and Man
Police come up, take me by his hand
Led me down to the county jail
Lookin' for my Louise to come and go my bail

Oh Louise, Louise, oh, Louise
Babe, where can you be?
Hurry home, hitch up that white mule
And ride, ride, ride to me

Oh Louise, Louise, oh, Louise
Babe, where can you be?
Hurry home, hitch up your white mule
And ride, ride, ride to me

Now the judge has sentenced me, out on the county's road
On a horse, there's the man he rode
He count me in the mornin', count me through the day
Count me ev'ry hour, he's not run away

But my Louise, Louise, oh, Louise
Babe, where can you be?
Hurry home, hitch up that white mule
And ride, ride, ride to me

It was early in the ev'nin', sun was goin' down
Seen a lady comin' all dressed in brown
Looked in her face, I looked down in her hands
Was Louise comin', comin' to get her man

Oh Louise, Louise, oh, Louise
Babe, where can you be?
Hurry home, hitch up that white mule
And ride, ride to me
