lyrics

LOVE YOUR MAN (A Good Wife’s Guide)


AUNTY ANNIE & LOUISE’S MOTHER :
« You will love your man… You need to keep the house clean, Louise.
You will love your man… Learn to be a good cook, Louise.
Well… You will love your man… Tease, Please. Be happy. Louise.
Oh… You will love your man… Do not talk. He’s yer boss, Louise. »

NARRATOR :
She was born in Van Horn in 1941
A place that her mum did adorn
Where she felt at ease

Louise fell in love with a guy from downtown
Married at 16
No baby yet
So Aunty Annie and Mummy said :

AUNTY ANNIE & LOUISE’S MOTHER :
« You will love your man… Learn to be a good cook. Louise.
You will love your man… You need to keep the house clean. Louise.
Oh… You will love your man… Tease, Please. Be happy. Louise.
Oh… You will love your man… Do not talk. He’s the boss. Louise. Louise. »

« You’ve been alone
You’ve been alone
Too long, you shirk your obligations. Louise
Have a son, Oh oh
Have your son
Be a good wife
Be a good wife

NARRATOR :
As far as Louise can see (Be a good wife… Be a good wife)
All her dreams have been broken, violently (Oh oh… Be a good wife… Be a good wife)

As far as Louise can see
All her dreams have been broken, violently .

Drop the bottle
Stop boozing Louise
