LOUIE LOUIE
(Richard Berry)(1955)
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
a fine little girl, who waited for me
I catch a ship across the sea
I sailed the ship all alone
I wondered when Im gonna make it home
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louie louie, oh baby, I gotta go
three days and nights I sailed the sea
I think of the girl constantly
on the ship, I dream she there
I smell the rose that's in her hair
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
I see Jamaican moon above
see the girl I'm thinking of
I take her in my arms and then
say I'll never leave again
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
I gotta go now
uh-huh I gotta go
oh no
