Now when I was just a little boy a standin' to my
Daddy's knee my Papa 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
And I can remember the fourth of July a 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
Lord Lord

Wish I was back on the bayou arollin' with some
Cajun Queen a wishin' I were a fast freight train a just achooglin 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
All right

And 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
Lord Lord born on the bayou
Do it do it do it do it
Lord Lord
