Jack & Amanda Palmer - Louise Was Not Half Bad lyrics

Well they all said Louise was not half bad It was written on the walls and window shades Though she'd act the little girl A deceiver, don't believe her that's her trade Sometimes a bottle of perfume Flowers and maybe some lace Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets Their intentions were easily traced Everybody knew at times she cried But women like Louise they get by And everybody thought it kind of sad When they found Louise in her room They'd all put her down below their kind Still some cried when she died that afternoon Louise rode home on the mail train Somewhere south I heard it said Too bad it ended so ugly Too bad she had to go this way The wind is blowing cold tonight Good night Louise, good night
