מילים לשיר Cherokee Louise – Joni Mitchell

Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel
We're crawling on our knees
In the Broadway bridge
We've got flashlights and batteries
We've got cold cuts from the fridge Last year about this time
We used to climb up in the branches
Now the cops on the street
They want Cherokee Louise
Just to sway there in some breeze People like to talk
Waggin' over phones
All their doors are locked
Tongues are waggin' over fences
God she can't even come to our house
But I know where she'll go To the place where you can stand
In dust piled high as me
And press your hands like it was bubblebath
Poor Cherokee Louise
Down under the street
My friend Ever since we turned 13
It's like a minefield
Walking to the door
Going out you get the 3rd degree
And comin' in you get the 3rd world war
Tuesday after school And when the train went by
We put our pennies on the rails
We were jumpin' round like fools
Goin' "Look no heads or tails"
Goin' "Look my lucky prize" She runs home to her foster dad
He opens up a zipper
And he yanks her to her knees
Oh please be hereMy friend Poor Cherokee Louise
Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel
We're crawling on our knees
In the Broadway bridge
I know where she is
We've got Archie and Silver Screen
The place where you can stand In dust piled high as me
Down under the street
And press your hand like it was bubblebath
My friend
Oh Cherokee LouisePoor Cherokee Louise.
