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.”
