Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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 a Lafontaine where we can live if you marry me

Une belle maison a Lafontaine where we will live, you and me

Oh Louise, mm mm mm mm mm, ma jolie Louise

Tous les matins au soleil I will work 'til work is done

Tous les matins au soleil I did work 'til work was done

And one day, the foreman said "Jean-Guy, we must let you go"

Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon, at the mill anymore

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 ami

I drink the rum 'til I can't see, it hides the shame Louise does not see

Carousel turns in my head and I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no

And the rage turned in my head and Louise, I struck her down

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

En Septembre soixante-trois, kids are gone and so is Louise

Ontario they did go, near la ville de Toronto

Now my tears they roll down, tous les jours, whoa, oh, oh, oh

And I remember the days and the promises that we made

Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
