Jolie louise lyrics

Ma jolie, how do you do?

Mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux

I come from East of Gatineau

My name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie

J'ai une maison à Lafontaine

Where we can live, if you marry me

Une belle maison à Lafontaine

Where we will live, you and me

O-oh Louise... ma jolie Louise

Tous les matins au soleil

I will work till work is done

Tous les matins au soleil

I did work till work is done

And one day the foreman

Said «Jean-Guy, we must let you go

Et puis mon nom, why est pas bon

At the mill any more

O-oh Louise, I'm losing my head

I'm losing my head

My kids are small, four and three

Et la bouteille, she's mon amie

I drink the rum till I can't see

It hides the shame Louise does not see

The carousel turns in my head

And I can't hide, oh no no no no

And the rage turns in my head

And Louise, I struck her down

Down on the ground... I'm losing my mind

I'm losing my mind
