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
