Down in the poolroom
|
Some of the gang were
|
Talking of gals they knew
|
Women are all the same, said Joe
|
|
Then one dizzy bird
|
Said, pal, ain't you heard
|
The story of True Blue Lou
|
|
Listen and get an earful, Joe
|
While I remind you she was
|
A dame in love with a guy
|
She stuck to him
|
But didn't know why
|
|
Everyone blamed her
|
Still they all named her
|
True Blue Lou
|
|
He gave her nothing
|
She gave him all
|
But when he had
|
His back to the wall
|
|
Who fought to save him
|
Smiled and forgave him
|
True Blue Lou
|
|
He got a break and went
|
Away to get a new start
|
But poor kid, she never got a break
|
Except the one way
|
Down in her heart
|
|
Maybe somewhere
|
In heaven up above
|
There's a reward
|
For that kind of love
|
|
Angels won't blame her
|
They too will name her
|
True Blue Lou
