Lyrics: I'm walking down the highway And I'm trying to get home Oh lets hope I didn't wait too long I left Louise at the window crying Only hope she hasn't lowered her blind Oh Louise, oh Louise, Louise please say you wait for me I met Louise in the month of May I knew that she had words to say Lord I couldn't hear them at the time It was until after I'd gone that The words she spoke they lingered on I knew that I had left her with an apron high Oh Louise, oh Louise Louise please say you wait for me I know she sitting in the darkness waiting The streetlamp lights the tears she shedding At a table there's a place for me She'll make the table every night With some wine and candle light Even though she don't know where I'll be Oh Louise, oh Louise, Louise please say you wait for me I don't know what gets into me But I must wonder aimlessly Though I know it's wrong at the time Many's the highway I walked down But nothing have I ever found They always left me homeward bound Oh Louise, oh Louise, Louise please say you wait for me I hope I soon will get the ride That'll take me to Louise's side I'll dry her tears and say that I was wrong And hope that she forgives me then And says that we can try again I only hope she hasn't lowered her blind Oh Louise, oh Louise, Louise please say you wait for me |
