"No Shoe Strings On Louise" lyrics

No Shoe Strings On Louise

Lady Love
Rides a big red Cadillac
Buys the hoedown show
Salt and beans
Goes to church
To pray for Lucifer
Milked the male
Population clean

So ride in line
Shake yourself
By the hand
Live your life
Inside
A paper can

But you'll never
Get to pick and choose
She's bought you
And sold you
There ain't no
Shoe strings
On Louise

Come on down
Come on down
From the ladder
Henry, get your head
Get your head
Out of them clouds
What she wants
Is to go kissing
On a swine herd
You might as well
Kiss the boss
Man's cow

So ride in line
Shake yourself
By the hand
Live your life
Inside
A paper can

But you'll never
Get to pick and choose
She's bought you
And sold you
There ain't no
Shoe strings
On Louise
Oh, yeah

All those city women
Want to make us poor men
And this land's
Got the worse
For the worrying
Yeah, I got married
At the early age of fourteen
And I've been worrying
About the way
You'll be loving them
Yeah

So ride in line
Shake yourself
By the hand
Live your life
Inside
A paper can

But you'll never
Get to pick and choose
She's bought you
And sold you
There ain't no
Shoe strings
On Louise
Oh, yeah

There ain't no
Shoe strings
On Louise
Yeah
