Son House - Louise McGhee Lyrics

You see a little girl they call
Louise McGhee
Please do me a favor and shake
her little hand for me
I said if you see a little girl
her name, Louise McGhee
You know, please do me a favor, shake her little hand for me

I know a little girl
like a cow like to chew cud
Her little low down ways I wish you
had quit as she would
You know I love that little thing
Just like a cow like to chew her cud

Little low down ways
I sure wish you'd quit if she would

Mmm, Lookie here
If I don't go crazy
Lookie here
If I don't go crazy

Yeah lookie here
I'm gonna lose my mind

You know cause I stayed bothered
Worried all the time

You know it's a shame
A dirty shame
I so sorry the day I ever
know Louise's name

Yeah it's a shame
I said it's a low down dirty shame
You know I'm so sorry the day
that I ever known Louise's name

I say, now come here little girl
throwing up your dog gone hand
Cause I've been your dog ever since that I knowed your name

Don't come here little girl
I said, throwing up your dog gone hand
You know I've been your dog honey
Ever since that I knowed your name

You know when I leave honey
I don't want you to cry no more

I say, when I leave
I don't want you to cry no more

I said but when I leave this time honey
I'm gonna hang crepe on your door

Hmmmm
I gets up in the morning with the blues
3 different ways
I have two mind to leave here
I didn't have but one say stay

I say I gets up in the morning
I say with the blues 3 different ways
Yeah I have two mind to leave here
I didn't have but one say stay

Honey now if I don't never no more see you
You forever be on my mind

If I don't never no more see you
I say you forever be on my mind

You know every time I think about you girl
I just can't keep from crying
