The hit version was by The Kingsmen
Louie Louie is one of the most recorded songs of all time. Station KALX in Berkeley used to have a yearly show of all the versions they could find and played well over a thousand.
Here are the original lyrics:
Louie, Louie,
me gotta go.
Louie, Louie,
me gotta go.
A fine little girl, she wait for me;
me catch a ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone;
I never think I'll make it home
Three nights and days we sailed the sea;
me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there;
I smell the rose in her hair.
Me see Jamaica moon above;
It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I never leave again.
