Aaron Watson - Charlene Gene
CAPO: 2nd Fret
 CI’ve got a Amgirl and FCharlene Gis her Cname 
 CSince she flipped her Amskirt at me I ain’t Fnever Gbeen the Csame 
 CAll of the Amboys Fin our Gtrailer Cpark 
 Would Ctake a bath and Amgo to school Fjust to Gwin her Cheart 
 CHORUS: 
 Her name is FCharlene GGene, she’s Cevery rednecks Amdream 
 Some Fpeople think the Gthing that I love Cmo-o-C7ost  
 Is the Fway that Gshe Cbutters up my Amto-o-ast  
 But Fmost of most I Glove her lovely Cname 
 Just the other day we were riding in my car 
 We got to Charlene’s trailer and I pulled up in the yard 
 On her front porch was her old boyfriend Chase 
 He blew a little kiss at her so I kicked him in the face 
 CHORUS: 
 'Cause I love Charlene Gene, she’s every redneck’s dream 
 Some people think the thing that I love most  
 Is the way that she butters up my toast  
 But most of most I love her lovely name 
 Charlene’s got a brother and his name is Jim 
 And she’s got one other and his names the same as him 
 One of them is ugly and one of them is mean 
 But both of them together couldn’t keep me from Charlene   
 CHORUS: 
 'Cause I love Charlene Gene, she’s every redneck’s dream 
 Some people think the thing that I love most  
 Is the way that she butters up my toast  
 But most of most I love her lovely name 
 Charlene’s mom and daddy bought a brand new double wide  
 And when she moved away from me I will admit I cried 
 But that Friday night at the local quickie mart 
 A pretty girl winked at me and nearly stole my heart 
 CHORUS: 
 Bobby Joe Briscoe the queen of the rodeo 
 She may be sweet on me but she don’t even know 
 It don’t matter how she butters up my bread 
 I’ll always love someone else instead 
 CHORUS: 
 'Cause I love Charlene Gene, she’s every redneck’s dream 
 Some people think the thing that I love most  
 Is the way that she butters up my toast  
 But most of most I love her lovely name

CAPO: 2nd Fret

C Am F G C

I’ve got a girl and Charlene is her name

C Am F G C

Since she flipped her skirt at me I ain’t never been the same

C Am F G C

All of the boys in our trailer park

C Am F G C

Would take a bath and go to school just to win her heart

CHORUS:

F G C Am

Her name is Charlene Gene, she’s every rednecks dream

F G C C7

Some people think the thing that I love mo-o-ost

F G C Am

Is the way that she butters up my to-o-ast

F G C

But most of most I love her lovely name

Just the other day we were riding in my car

We got to Charlene’s trailer and I pulled up in the yard

On her front porch was her old boyfriend Chase

He blew a little kiss at her so I kicked him in the face

CHORUS:

'Cause I love Charlene Gene, she’s every redneck’s dream

Some people think the thing that I love most

Is the way that she butters up my toast

But most of most I love her lovely name

Charlene’s got a brother and his name is Jim

And she’s got one other and his names the same as him

One of them is ugly and one of them is mean

But both of them together couldn’t keep me from Charlene

CHORUS:

'Cause I love Charlene Gene, she’s every redneck’s dream

Some people think the thing that I love most

Is the way that she butters up my toast

But most of most I love her lovely name

Charlene’s mom and daddy bought a brand new double wide

And when she moved away from me I will admit I cried

But that Friday night at the local quickie mart

A pretty girl winked at me and nearly stole my heart

CHORUS:

Bobby Joe Briscoe the queen of the rodeo

She may be sweet on me but she don’t even know

It don’t matter how she butters up my bread

I’ll always love someone else instead

CHORUS:

'Cause I love Charlene Gene, she’s every redneck’s dream

Some people think the thing that I love most

Is the way that she butters up my toast

But most of most I love her lovely name
