‘Louie, Louie’ Lyrics

Here, courtesy of Mike Mitchell, are the original lyrics to “Louie, Louie”:

Louie, Louie

Me gotta go

Louie, Louie

Me gotta go

Louie, Louie

Me gotta go.

A fine little girl, she wait for me.

Me catch the ship across the sea.

I sailed the ship all alone

I never think I’ll make it home.

(repeat chorus)

Three nights and days we sailed the sea.

Me think of girl constantly.

On the ship I dream she there

I smell the rose in her hair.

(repeat chorus)

Me see Jamaica moon above.

It won’t be long me see me love.

Me take her in my arms and then

I tell her I never leave again.
