SINGER: Daniel Lanois

SONG:Jolie Louise

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
o-oh louise... ma jolie louise
Tous les matins au soleil
i will work till work is done
tous les matins au soleil
i did work till work is done
and one day the foreman
said «jean-guy, we must let you go»
et puis mon nom, y est pas bon
at the mill any more
o-oh louise, i'm losing my head
i'm losing my head
My kids are small, four and three
et la bouteille, she's mon amie
i drink the rum till i can't see
it hides the shame louise does not see
the carousel turns in my head
and i can't hide, oh no no no no
and the rage turns 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 soixante-trois
the 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, o-o-o-oh
and i remember the days
and the promises that we made
o-oh louise, ma jolie louise, ma jolie louise
