Original lyrics
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Fine little girl, she wait for me.
Me catch the ship for across the sea.
Me sail the ship all alone.
Me never thinks me make it home.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Three nights and days me sailed the sea.
Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there.
I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Me see Jamaican moon above.
It won't be long, me see me love.
I take her in my arms and then.
Me tell her I never leave again.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.
