Deeper comin' in the sea,
Louise
Comin' quietly, but twos and but threes
Some are standin',
some are down on their knees
Louie's ain't gonna make it no more
Her mama has her head down low
Her daddy says he told her so
Her lover has to turn and go
Louie's ain't gonna make it no more
Louie, somebody said this morning
Louis, you were the best we had
Louis, I won't look for no reason
An d I won't cry till I
get home
A lot of people said they knew her well,
they were buddies in the Birmingham cell.
You could ask her but she'd never tell,
now
Louise ain't gonna make it no more,
Louise.
Somebody said this morning, Louise,
you were the best we had
Louise, I won't look for no reason
And I won't cry till
I get home
People coming in to see Louise
Coming quietly, but twos and by threes
Some are standing,
some are down on their knees
Louise ain't gonna make it no more
