  \begin{verse}
    Tous les matins au soleil
    I will work 'till work is done
    Tous les matins au soleil
    I did work 'till work was done
    And one day the foreman
    Said : {\og}Jean Guy, we must let you go{\fg}
    Et puis mon nom y est pas bon
    At the mill anymore{\dots}
    Oh, oh Louise, I'm loosing my head, I'm loosing my head
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    My kids are small, four and three
    Et la bouteille, she's mon amie
    I drink the rhum 'till I can't see
    It hides the shame Louise doesn't see
    A carroussel turns in my head
    And I can't hide, non non non non
    And the rage turned in my head
    And Louise, I stroke her down
    Down on the ground, I'm loosing my mind, I'm loosing my mind
  \end{verse}

  \begin{verse}
    En septembre soixante-trois
    Kids are gone, so is Louise
    Ontario did they go
    Near la ville de Toronto
    Now my tears, they roll down
    Tous les jours, mmm
    And I remember the days
    And the promises that we made
    Oh, oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise
  \end{verse}
