Intro
Couplet 1
Mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
I come from east of Gatine
I come from east of Gatineau,
My name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie
J'ai une maison à Lafontaine,
Where we can live if you marry me
Une belle maison à Lafontaine,
Where we will live, you and me
Oh Louise, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,
Couplet 2
Tous les matins au soleil,
I will work 'til work is done
Tous les matins au soleil,
I did work 'til work was done
Said : "Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon,
Oh Louise, I'm losing my head,
Couplet 3
My kids are small, four and thr
My kids are small, four and three,
Et la bouteille, she's mon amie
I drink the rum 'til I can't s
I drink the rum 'til 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
Couplet 4
En septembre soixante-trois,
Kids are gone and so is Louise
Now my tears, they roll down,
Tous les jours, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah,
And the promises that we made
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise,
Finale
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
