Lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, to continue, please warmly welcome with us
Creedence Clearwater Revival
[Verse 1]
Now, when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get ya
And do what he done to me"
'Cause he'll get you, Lord
Get you right now, now
[Verse 2]
And I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwoods, bare
And I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Chorus]
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, born
Born on the Bayou
[Verse 3]
I 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
[Chorus]
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, born
Born on the Bayou
[Verse 4]
And I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwoods, bare
And I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Chorus]
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, born
Born on the Bayou
[Outro]
Ah, thank you very much
