I said Louie, Lou-aye, oh baby
I said we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said Louie, Lou-aye, oh baby
I said we gotta go

This fine little girl she waits for me
Catch another baby, wait and see
I sail up on that ship all alone
I never think I'll make it home

I said Louie, Lou-aye, oh baby
I said we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said Louie, Lou-aye, oh baby
I said we gotta go

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl constantly
I sail up, up on that ship, I dream she there
I smell the rose oh in her hair

I said Louie, Lou-aye, oh baby
I said we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said Louie, Lou-aye, oh baby
I said we gotta go
Yeah
