The Rougarou

Deep in the swamp on a full moon Legend says a creature roams deep in the lagoon Eyes red and glowing in the dark as he prowls Even the alligators hide to the sound of his growls A few brave souls have searched in the bog For the creature with the body of a man and head of a wolfdog The legend originated in France from there it grew To the swamps of Louisiana The Rougarou Parents told the legend to their children to keep them out of the woods Also, to scare Catholics to keep Lent as they should He is super strong, moves fast, can change shape Anyone who finds him needs to know how to escape Put a leaf in your pocket and say a prayer Whatever you do, never into his red eyes stare If you should find him mustn't tell anyone for a year and a day You must heed this warning to what I say If you make those mistakes I'm warning you You could change and become A Rougarou too
