Ballad Of Louise Lyrics

I had a love he was mine said he'd love me all the time I was sure our love was pure if love can be Then one morning without warning truth came calling on me and her name was Louise I needn't tell you what she said I just wanted to be dead For she didn't show mercy for me You should've seen her walk away into his waiting arms that day And I watched him stopped to kiss Louise [ dobro ]The hour was late the night was warm I hid the bundle beneath my arm The thought of what I'd soon be doing made me freeze [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/ballad-of-louise-lyrics-jeannie-c-riley.html ] But without fear I found them there just how and where I knew they'd be Sleeping cradled in his arms was Louise Now they close those heavy doors I'll never leave here anymore But I dare not beg forgiveness on my knees For it was done with careful plans she'll never steal another man For tomorrow they'll bury Louise
