Louise, take it all back to town
|
Ain't it a shame you're too old to get around
|
But everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy coo
|
Just can't shake it like you used to do
|
Louise
|
|
Louise, you used to work so hard
|
No one could compare
|
Always used to build a house
|
They came from everywhere
|
|
Men would scream
|
The ladies faint
|
The childrens weren't allowed
|
No one on another bill could ever draw a crowd
|
|
That was a long time ago
|
How you keep it up, I just don't know
|
|
Louise, take it all back to town
|
Ain't it a shame you're too old to get around
|
But everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy coo
|
Just can't shake it like you used to do
|
Louise, Louise
|
|
Younger girls keep coming up, anxious for a chance
|
They've all been to college, got degrees in modern dance
|
Things keep getting rougher now
|
Where they once was slick
|
Old routines are getting tired
|
Tassels just don't stick
|
|
That was a long time ago
|
How you keep it up, I just don't know
|
|
Louise, take it all back in town
|
Ain't it a shame you're too old to get around
|
But everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy coo
|
Just can't shake it like you used to do
|
Louise, Louise
|
|
Louise
|
|
Ooh
|
It's so very hard
|
Every day slips away
|
Away, away
|
