(Everybody Throws You Away) Louise

Kreg Viesselman
Everybody Throws You Away) Louise
Grass is turning brown
Cold hard hail's a-comin' down
And I'm leaning heavy south
In a northbound wind
With the dark November skies
And the dark bags hung beneath your eyes
No telling exactly where you've been
And it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a goddamned shame
Everybody throws you 'way Louise
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a goddamned shame
Everybody throws you 'way Louise
Oh Louise, you pretty thing
The Blue tick bays
And the crickets sing
Every time the moon is up above
You can lead a horse to water
You can even raise that horse's daughter
But you can't force a selfish man to love
Oh, hungry eyed Louise
You've a tender heart
That no one sees
Like a baby bird
You hide it for your own
Would you show it to me now?
I'll try to pay you back some how
By seeing that you never sit alone
