Born On The Bayou

Now when I was just a little boy

Standin' to my daddy's knee

My Poppa said son don't let the man get you

Do what he done to me

'Cause he'll get you

'Cause he'll get you now, now



I can remember the fourth of July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

And I can still hear my old 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



Wish I was back on the bayou

Rollin' with some Cajun Queen

Wishin' I were a fast freight train

Oh, just a-jublin' on down to New Orleans



Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou



I can remember the fourth of July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

And I can still hear my old 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
