Everyone, when she was young,
|
They said she was the pretty one
|
She's lovely now, just watch her as she goes
|
Waiting for the birds to come
|
She holds the hands of someone young
|
Whose mother comes and she sees her and she smiles
|
Thank you Louise
|
Thank you Louise
|
Mother of three
|
Waiting in the check-out line
|
The supermarket, Christmas time
|
She eyes someone who doesn't have the change
|
Takes a dollar from her purse
|
She pays and doesn't say a word
|
She winks and grins and 'Merry Christmas, friend!'
|
Thank you Louise
|
Thank you Louise
|
Mother of three
|
In Baltimore, the freezing cold,
|
That chills her darling to the bone
|
She leaves her work and quits her job
|
Her brother lay upon the bed
|
With broken teeth and busted head
|
He hears the phone and he knows his brother's dead
|
Thank you Louise
|
Thank you Louise
|
Mother of two.
