Now ever since, Louisa, been gone

My life don't seem the same

Now ever since, Louisa, been gone

My life don't seem the same

Now, you know it breaks my heart, an

To hear anybody call, Miss Louisa, names



Now, Miss Louisa, mistreated me

And she drove me from her door

Now, that Miss Louisa, she mistreated me

Lord, and she drove me from her door

Now, that will be alright with me

Louisa, you have got to reap just what you sow



Now, Louisa, you know I haven't been

Not the very best that I could have

Now Louisa, you know I haven't been

Not the very best that I could have

Now then, if you don't treat me no better

Lord, I sure do wish you would







Now but that will be alright

Louisa, you will come back home some day

Now but that will be alright

Louisa, you will come back home some day

Now, but I'm scared that when you get back

Louisa, you ain't gonna have no place to stay.
