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 anything

Tell me am I foolish, I don't believe these stories
Darling, I'll be coming home soon
Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it, tell it to me

Well, I know you will not see me, but I hear you have a daughter
I hear she has my eyes
They say she calls him "father", and that he's proud of her
And that he believes all of your lies

But for all your faithless beauty, I give all my tomorrows
And if you're still thinking of me
Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it, tell it to me

Took a job in Tennessee
To build a life for us
Give a kiss to win a heart
Take a kiss to break apart

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 anything
Well, tell me am I foolish, I don't believe these stories
Darling, I'll be coming home soon
Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it, tell it to me

Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it, tell it to me
Louise, Louise, if it's true
Tell it, tell it to me
