Louise MC Ghee Songtext
If you see a little girl I sing, they call her little Louise McGhee
I said if you see a little girl and they call her little Louise McGhee
You know I want y′all to do me a favor
Please shake her little hands for me
Well now, minutes seem like hours
Hours they seem like days
Seem like my little baby ought to stop me
Oh Lord, I'll wait
I said the minutes seem like hours now
I said the hours they seem like days
Yes and it seem like my, my little baby
Ought to stop too, won′t go without me
Mhmm, I get up this mornin' at the break of day
I was huggin' the pillow where she used to lay
I said soon this mornin′, I said just about the break of day
Yes, I was just hugging the pillow where she, she used to lay
You know I, I got up and I walked out on
The outskirts of town
I took me a seat then I watched the evening sun go down
I said I got up and I walked down
I set out on the outskirts of town
Ooh, I took me a seat and I watched the evening sun go down
You know it′s so hard to love someone don't love you
Don′t look like your satisfaction, don't care what in the world you do
You know, it′s so hard to love someone
I said, when they do not love you
Yes don't look like every satisfaction
Don′t care what in this old, old world you do
But tell her, "That's alright honey, any old way you do
I done done everything I could tryna to, to get along with you"
I said that's alright little girl
I said, honey that′s alright for you
Mhmm, see lil′ girl, I'm in pain
See baby that′s the way you do
You know I thought I would, would never love
But four women in my life
One was my mother and my sister
My kid girl and my wife
I thought I would never love
I said, but four women in my life
One was my mother and my sister
My kid girl and my wife
You know I went in my room, I sat down and cried
I didn't have no blues but I wasn′t satisfied
Yes, I went in my room, I said I sat flat out and I cried
Yes, I didn't have no blues but I just wasn′t satisfied
Mhmm, I'm going away, gonna stay a great long time
Honey, I ain't never coming back until you change your mind
Louise, I′m going away, I said I must stay a great long time
Yes, I ain′t never coming back until you, you change your mind
I said if you see a little girl and they call her little Louise McGhee
You know I want y′all to do me a favor
Please shake her little hands for me
Well now, minutes seem like hours
Hours they seem like days
Seem like my little baby ought to stop me
Oh Lord, I'll wait
I said the minutes seem like hours now
I said the hours they seem like days
Yes and it seem like my, my little baby
Ought to stop too, won′t go without me
Mhmm, I get up this mornin' at the break of day
I was huggin' the pillow where she used to lay
I said soon this mornin′, I said just about the break of day
Yes, I was just hugging the pillow where she, she used to lay
You know I, I got up and I walked out on

Yes, I ain′t never coming back until you, you change your mind
