Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Ma jolie, how do you do, mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Le roux
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 any more
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 a mi
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 Lou ise
Ontario they did go, near la ville de Toron to
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
