File Number 6: Creature from the Catfish Lagoon
During a hurricane, I received a call, from Police Chief Pierre Levasseur from New Orleans. He asked me to help solve a heartbreaking case? Heartbreaking case I asked? He told me that his fiancée Louise disappeared thirteen years ago and she was kidnapped by the local legend, The Creature from the Catfish Lagoon in the Bayou. Listen to his story and what I found out from the old-timer, Gros Jean down in a tavern in New Orleans. Case closed. C'est la vie, Pierre.

Thirteen years ago today I lost my fiancée
The beauty of the Bayou and Louise was her name
That creepy Halloween before our wedding day, she took the shortcut
Through the swamp where "Grand-Père" said to stay away

The Creature from the Catfish Lagoon
Took my fiancée that full moon
C'est une histoire triste, mon amour savait le risque
Strolling thru the backwoods Bayou

Haven't seen her since
It's been so long
Je l'ai jamais vue encore
Ma jolie, jolie, blonde

I've been heartbroken for these thirteen lonely years
I went into a tavern with "Gros Jean" for a couple of beers
He turned and said to me he had seen Louise "en ville"
There never was a creature, she left you for Mr. Gill.

"C'est la vie. C'est l'amour."

The Creature from the Catfish Lagoon
Took my fiancée that full moon
C'est une histoire triste, mon amour savait le risque
Strolling thru the backwoods Bayou

Haven't seen her since
It's been so long
Je l'ai jamais vue encore
Ma jolie, jolie, blonde
