Track 9 of 10 on the album "Because You Believed In Me (1976) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
           A                                                           B7
Now, I was standing in the shower, it was somewhere 'round the hour of 5 PM

            E                         F#m                         F     E
Lord, I had just stepped in to wash away all the dirt from a hard day's work

      A                                                              B7
I was soaking up and scrubbing, standing naked in the tub when that old phone rang

             E                            B7                         E
I grabbed a towel and sprang, then I went running down the hall to receive that call
[Chorus 1]
N.C.       A                 B7
And I said, "Hey Louella, is that you on the line?"

         E                   A                 E
She said, "Yeah, big fella. How's that man of mine?"

           A                     B7
And I said, "Hey Louella, been thinking 'bout you all day, hon'

          E
I'll be around a little later if you think you'd like to cater

     A
To a hot loving son-of-a-gun"
[Fiddle Solo] A B7 E A [Verse 2]
           A                                                             B7
I went and shaved off all the gristle, I was cleaner than a whistle when I got done

              E                  F#m                         F     E
Lord, I felt like someone, I was ready in my suit and my new black boots

       A                                                         B7
When I got to my Louella, I had tender things to tell her that I felt inside

           E                       B7                           E
I looked into her eyes, I held her close as we could get then I took a breath
[Chorus 2]
N.C.       A                  B7
And I said, "Hey Louella, I'm all hung up on you"

             E                 A                     E
And she said, "Yeah, big fella. I feel the same way too."

            A                     B7
Then I said, "Hey Louella, let's burn a bridge or two tonight

             E
What say we take a step together, it might lead us to forever

           A
There's no telling what might come in sight
[Outro]
           A
And I said, "Hey Louella

   A
Oh, hey Louella

A
   Hey Louella

A
   Hey Louella

A
   Hey Louella

A
   Hey Louella

A
   Hey Louella..."
