Lyrics:

Now ever since, Louisa, been gone, my life don't seem the same
Now ever since, Louisa, been gone, my life don't seem the same
Now, you know it breaks my heart, an, to hear anybody call, Miss Louisa, names

Now, Miss Louisa, mistreated me and she drove me from her door
Now, that Miss Louisa, she mistreated me, Lord, and she drove me from her door
Now, that will be alright with me, Louisa, you have got to reap just what you sow

Now, Louisa, you know I haven't been, not the very best that I could have
Now Louisa, you know I haven't been, not the very best that I could have
Now then, if you don't treat me no better, Lord, I sure do wish you would

Now but that will be alright, Louisa, you will come back home some day
Now but that will be alright, Louisa, you will come back home some day
Now, but I'm scared that when you get back, Louisa, you ain't gonna have no place to stay
