Lady love, rides a big red Cadillac

Buys the hoedown show salt and beans

Goes to church to pray for Lucifer

She 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 kissin' 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, come on, gal All those city women who want to make us poor men

And this land's got the worse for the worryin'

Yeah, I got married at the early age of fourteen

And I've been worryin' about the way you'll be lovin' 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, oh
