True Blue Lou

Down in the poolroom

Some of the gang were

Talking of gals they knew

Women are all the same, said Joe

Then one dizzy bird

Said, pal, ain't you heard

The story of True Blue Lou

Listen and get an earful, Joe

While I remind you she was

A dame in love with a guy

She stuck to him

But didn't know why

Everyone blamed her

Still they all named her

True Blue Lou

He gave her nothing

She gave him all

But when he had

His back to the wall

Who fought to save him

Smiled and forgave him

True Blue Lou

He got a break and went

Away to get a new start

But poor kid, she never got a break

Except the one way

Down in her heart

Maybe somewhere

In heaven up above

There's a reward

For that kind of love

Angels won't blame her

They too will name her

True Blue Lou
