Thanks Stewie
I have tried all the search engines and logical sites I can find, There are a lot of "Louises " about but not the right one. I have also trawled CD sites for "Louise" and Sonny Terry & Brownie Macgee Sing a "Louise " but I dont know if it is the same one. I have posted what I have below

Louise
ASB Ramblin Jack Elliott

They say you're seeing someone,
You're wearing his ring
They say you laughed when you heard my name
They say he takes you dancing, he holds you so near
They say he'll buy you any thing,
Tell me, am I foolish, I don't believe these stories
Darlin I'll be comin home soon,

Chorus
Louise, Louise its true, tell it, tell it, to me


I know you will not see me,
But I hear you have a daughter
I hear she shares my eyes,
They say she calls him father,
And how he is proud of her,
And he believes all of your lies.
But for all your faithless duties?
I'd give all my tomorrows
If you're still thinking of me .... Chorus

Bridge

Took a job in Tennessee to build a life for us,
? ?
to break apart
Repeat 1st verse & Chorus
