Words and music by Jean Rohe
Louisa, little Southern town
The green hills wear their hazy crown
In the evening I go walking as the summer sun goes down
Louisa, I left everything
For your green hills, for a wedding ring
I'm a dreamer, I'm a foolish dreamer with a sad, sad song to sing
O, Louisa
What have you done?
Now I'm a prisoner of my icy jealousy
I shoulda never left my home up North for your warm Virginia breeze
O, Louisa, you made a broken girl of me
Louisa, full of Southern belles
They'll smile bright and they'll wish you well
But you can see it: they're hiding something; what it is, you can't quite tell
Louisa, he caught me in his snare
With his sweet laugh and his golden hair
But Louisa, his wandering eye–-this Northern girl could not compare
To Louisa
What have you done?
Now I'm a prisoner of my icy jealousy
I shoulda never left my home up North for your warm Virginia breeze
O, Louisa, you made a broken girl of me
And I'd go, you know I'd turn and head back homeward
Back to my land of snow
And I've tried, but he's the only one for me
O, Louisa
Louisa
Louisa
O, Louisa
What have you done to me?
I shoulda never left my home up North for your warm Virginia breeze
O Louisa, you made a broken girl of me
O Louisa, Louisa, Louisa.

Thanks to the Robinsons and the Rohes; to Crosshatch Center for Art and Ecology and Blue Mountain Center for the gift of time and space; to the residents and visitors of Yggdrasil for companionship and spiritual nourishment (especially Andy Benincasa, Nikki-Lu Asselin, Sara Joy Marquez, Jess Serrante); Kathleen Sullivan and Blaise Dupuy, Michael Moricz, Mike Olson, and all the kind people who have fed and sheltered us on our journeys in exchange for a little music.
Robinson & Rohe is the duo of American songwriters Liam Robinson (banjo, accordion, vocals) and Jean Rohe (guitar, vocals).
Since the release of their debut record, Hunger, in 2017, they have taken their music all over the US, Switzerland, UK, and Ireland, lighting up venerable folk venues and festivals from Club Passim to The Green Note and opening for Tom Paxton and Anaïs Mitchell along the way....more
The many voices of Jean Rohe and for every voice a song and every song is a passion, a touch of humanity. She is not just enormously talented, she cares. Listen to ‘Wings’, ‘Genevieve’, ‘Sisterly’. Every song a jewel.
Jean Rohe is a fully matured talent and I cannot wait to hear more. I hope she comes north soon. Definitely my best discovery of 2019. Ataraxia
Irish singer-songwriter Oisin Leech's acoustic folk music is characterized by its muted beauty and intimate, solitary quality. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2024
A gorgeous journey through a kaleidoscopic array of sonic approaches melted together that feels old and new at the same time. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 5, 2024
This is becoming one of my all-time favorite live albums. Outstanding setlist of some of her best songs, the band on point, and just a beautiful performance. jae
