Ryan Adams - Thank You Louise Lyrics
Everyone, when she was young,They said she was the pretty oneShe's lovely now, just watch her as she goesWaiting for the birds to comeShe holds the hands of someone youngWhose mother comes and she sees her and she smilesThank you LouiseThank you LouiseMother of threeWaiting in the check-out lineThe supermarket, Christmas timeShe eyes someone who doesn't have the changeTakes a dollar from her purseShe pays and doesn't say a wordShe winks and grins and ‘Merry Christmas, friend!'Thank you LouiseThank you LouiseMother of threeIn Baltimore, the freezing cold,That chills her darling to the boneShe leaves her work and quits her jobHer brother lay upon the bedWith broken teeth and busted headHe hears the phone and he knows his brother's deadThank you LouiseThank you LouiseMother of two.
