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.
