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 à Lafontaine

Where we can live, if you marry me
Une belle maison à 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
