Born On The Bayou

Now, when I was just a little boy

Standin' to my daddy's knee

My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you

And do what he done to me"

'Cause he'll get you

'Cause he'll get you now, now

And I can remember the fourth of July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

And I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'

Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou, Lord, Lord

Wish I was back on the bayou

Rollin' with some Cajun Queen

Wishin' I were a fast freight train

I'm just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou, mm, mm, mm

Born on the bayou, do it, do it, do it, do it

Alright

Oh, get back, boy

And I can remember the fourth of July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

And I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'

Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou, oh, oh

Born on the bayou

Alright, do it, do it, do it, do it
