Baton rouge

Watch them bones, the remains

And with the bayou ends the chase

There she dances, there she moves

Behind in the distance, Baton Rouge

You're sad and lonely

Will you marry me?

With secret oath, evil eyes

Forcing me up all night

Bizarre, she would jinx the night awake, 'til dawn

From the start, I knew it

There was an odd look on her face

First I walked, then I ran

In the dark water I drowned

You're sad and lonely

Will you marry me?

With secret oath, evil eyes

Forcing me up all night

Bizarre, she would jinx the night awake, 'til dawn

Tous les mots que je sais

Je les lui dis à regret

Et à mesure que je bouge

Il voit dans le lointain Baton rouge

Bizarre, she would jinx the night awake, 'til dawn

Ooh-ooh, she told me, ooh-ooh, you're mine 'til dawn
