Brother Louie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger danger when you've tasted brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight
Nothing bad it was good
Louie had the best girl that he could
When he took her home to meet his momma and papa
Louie knew just where he stood
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie you're gonna cry
Gonna cry baby, alright
There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his momma and papa
Man he had a terrible fight
Louie really caused a scene
Wishing it was a dream
Aint no difference between black and white
Hey brothers you all know what I mean
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie you're gonna cry
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie you're gonna cry
Gonna cry baby, alright
Louie Louie Louie Louie
Louie you're gonna
Louie you're gonna
Louie you're gonna cry
