Mitchell, Joni - Cherokee Louise Lyrics
Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel
in the Broadway bridge
we are crawling on our knees
we've got flashlights and batteries
we got cold cuts from the fridge
Last year about this time
we used to climb up in the branches
just to sway there in some breeze
now the cops on the street
they want Cherokee Louise
People like to talk
tongues are waggin' over fences
they're waggin' on the phones
all their doors are locked
But I know where she'll go
To the place where you can stand
and press your hands like it was bubble bath
in dust piled high as me
down under the street
my friend Cherokee Louise
Ever since we turned 13
it's like a minefield
walking to the door
going out to get your 3rd degree
and comin' in you get the 3rd world war
Tuesday after school
we put our pennies on the rails
and when the train rolled by
we were jumpin' round like fools
going "Look no heads or tails"
going "Look my lucky prize"
Then she runs home to her foster dad
he open up his zipper
and he yanks her to her knees
Oh please be here - please
my friend Cherokee Louise
Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel
in the Broadway bridge
we're crawling on our knees
I've got Archie and Silver Screen
I know where she is
She's in the place where you can stand
and press your hands like it was bubble bath
in dust piled high as me
down under the street
my friend Cherokee Louise
Oh Cheeroke Louise, poor Cherokee Louise
Cherokee Louise, Cherokee Louise

Mitchell, Joni Cherokee Louise Comments
Impecable Joni.....Desde Argentina.-
In spanish ..
Joni. Serious soul and poet. I fear her exit will align with my own from an empath's life of dismissed feeling and art.
amazing
There is only one Joni Mitchell
I love this song and I love her!
I never knew what this song was about until now. I mean, wow...
The brush work, the groove is very smooth, cutting 1/8th note triplets, much like "Be Cool". She is the greatest popular music composer of our time
To write something this beautiful about such an uncomfortable subject is a talent very few musicians have. Genius!
This is so beautiful...I can hardly stand it...
Bellos contrapuntos ente el saxo de Wayne Shorter y la voz de Joni, plena de matices.
accompagnement guitare, maîtrisé! Impact des mots.. Une voix qui entre en vous.. Irremplaçable Joni ! ;)
Nobody as fine. Sui Generis Joni.
