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 ya,
‘Cause he’ll get ya 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

Chorus
   Born On The Bayou
   Born On The Bayou
   Born On The Bayou

Instrumental

Wish I was back on the Bayou
Rollin’ with some Cajun Queen
Wishin’ I were a fast freight train
Just a chooglin’ on down to New Orleans

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus
All right! Do, do, do, do
