Ma jolie, how do you do?
Mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
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, 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 anymore...
Oh Louise, I`m losing my head,
I`m losing my head
My kids are small, 4 and 3
et la bouteille, she`s mon ami
I drink the rum `tilI 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 `63
kids are gone, and so is Louise.
Ontario, they did go
near la ville de Toronto
Now my tears, they roll down,
tous les jours
And I remember the days,
and the promises that we made
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
