1/2 ton vers Satan

(drum)  E    B  E

                     E
Ma jolie, how do you do
            B                   E
Mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
                        E
I come from east of Gatineau
           B              E
My name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie

              B
  J'ai une maison à Lafontaine
               E
  Where we can live if you marry me
               B
  Une belle maison à Lafontaine
                C♯m          A
  Where we will live you and me

            E                       B        E              (stop)
  Oh oh, Louise, uh uh uh uh uh, ma jolie Louise

Tous les matins au soleil
I will work till work is done
Tous les matins au soleil
I did work till work was done

  And one day the foreman
  Said "Jean-Guy we must let you go"
  Et puis mon nom, est pas bon
  At the mill, anymore

  Oh oh, Louise, I'm losing my head, I'm 1osing my head

My kids are small, 4 and 3
Et la bouteille, she's mon amie
I drink the rum till I can't see
It hides the shame Louise does not see

  A 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, uh uh uh uh uh
  And I remember the days
  And the promises that we made

  Oh oh, Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
