Louisville Lady 1933

The name of the town was Louisville
It was not so long ago
the name of the lady don't matter
you're not supposed to know
she left me for the river
that flows down to the sea
and here I'll wait by the river
till she comes back to me.

Out of the river
comes a melancholy wail
Ooo Oooh!
Trees are a shiver
even the moon turns pale.
Louisville Lady
moanin' as she drifts along,
Ooo Oooh!
I was her man
why did I do her wrong?
Oh!
Louisville Lady
forgive me for being untrue,
Now that you're gone
how can I live without you?
Louisville Lady
won't you listen to my plea,
Ooo Oooh!
Come out of the river
don't say goodbye to me.

Out of the river
comes a melancholy wail
Ooo Oooh!
Trees are a shiver
even the moon turns pale.
Louisville Lady
moanin' as she drifts along,
Ooo Oooh!
I was her man
why did I do her wrong?
Oh!
Louisville Lady
forgive me for being untrue,
Now that you're gone
how can I live without you?
Louisville Lady
won't you listen to my plea,
Ooo Oooh!
Come out of the river
don't say goodbye to me.
