Ma jolie how do you do

Mon nom est Jean Guy Thibault Leroux

I come from east of Gatineau

My name is Jean Guy ma jolie

Jai une maison a Lafontaine

Where we can live

If you marry me

Une belle maison a Lafontaine

Where we will live you and me

Oh Louise ma jolie Louise and Louise

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

Jean Guy we must let you go

Et pis mon nomy est pas bon

At the mill anymore

Oh Louise losing my head

Losing my head

My kids are small 4 and 3

Et la bouteille she's mon ami

I drink the rum till I can't see

It hides the shame Louise does not see

Carousel turns in my head

And I can't hide oh no no no no

And the rage turned in my head

And Louise I struck her down

Down on the ground

I'm losing my mind

Losing my mind

En Septembre 63

Kids are gone and so is Louise

Ontario they did go

Near la ville de Toronto

Now my tears they roll down

Tous les jours

And I remember the days

And the promises that we made

Oh Louise

Jolie Louise jolie Louise

Ma jolie how do you do

Mon nom est Jean Guy Thibault Leroux

I come from east of Gatineau

My name is Jean Guy ma jolie
