| Ah poor Louise The sun was high | D |

| To cheer Louise | C |

| Ah poor Louise In woody wold | F |
| She met a huntsman fair and bold | F |

| Ah poor Louise Small cause to pine | G |
| Hadst thou for treasures of the mine | G |
| For peace of mind that gift divine | G |
| And spotless innocence were thine | G |
| Ah poor Louise | C |
| - | |
| Ah poor Louise Thy treasure's reft | F |
| I know not if by force or theft | F |
| Or part by violence part by gift | F |
| But misery is all that's left | F |
| To poor Louise | C |
| - | |
| Let poor Louise some succour have | H |
| She will not long your bounty crave | I |
| Or tire the gay with warning stave | I |
| For Heaven has grace and earth a grave | I |
| Poor poor Louise | C |
