Song Content
The opening lines stake the author's or singer's claims for Louisville Lou's superiority as a vamp or femme fatale: “History is full of love-makin' champs / But if you want a brand new thrill, come and meet the vamp of Louisville” while enticing the listener further about Louisville Lou's prowess - “Until you're vamped by this brunette…you ain't had no vampin’ yet.”
After continuing the review of her wiles and the havoc she wreaks upon innocent men (“even Deacon Jones, who is old and bent, sold his crutches just to pay her rent”), the listener is given a final warning to “stay away from Louisville Lou.”

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or content:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
