Now, when I just was a little boy Standing to my Daddy's knee My poppa said: Son, don't let the man get you And do what he done to me
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 where a fast freight train Just a chooglin' 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
