'Ole Beaurigarde and sweet Charlene
Go together like rice and beans
Ev'rybody know in Thibadaux they in love
'Ole Beaurigarde's got big dreams
'Gonna be rich a rollin'in green
'Gonna build a house one day for sweet Charlene
Runnin' through the canefield thought I'd seen
Beaurigarde and sweet Charlene
Big as day what I'd seen
Was a Donaldson boy with sweet Charlene
Now the Donaldson house is just up the road
And ev'rybody there I thought they know'd 'bout
Beaurigarde's love for sweet Charlene
Well ev'ry body did 'cept just one
He came to town lookin' for fun
And found it in the arms of sweet Charlene
CHORUS
Well when word got back 'ole Beaurigrde
He ran like a rooster through the chicken yard
And grabbed the shotgun up and went to see
First shotgun blast a crow did fly
Second one rolled the river dry
You could hear it all the way to New Orleans
CHORUS
Now ev'rybody know in Thibadaux
The Donaldson boy was first to go
He tried to run but did not get too far
So if one day you think you've seen
A girl who looks like sweet Charlene
That's just The Ghost That Haunts 'Ole Beaurigarde
CHORUS
