Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Creedence Clearwater Revival
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"
Gonna get ya, gonna get ya now
I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
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, have mercy
I wish I was back on the bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
I'd be a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou, oh
Born on the bayou
Do it, do it, do it, ah
I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
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, get it, get it, get it, now
Play it for me, one time, here now
