Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A-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
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 back wood 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, alright, yeah
Born on the bayou
[Instrumental]
I wish I was back on the bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun queen, Lord
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
I'm just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
[Chorus]
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou, alright, yeah
Born on the bayou
[Instrumental]
And I can remember the fourth of July
Runnin' through the back wood 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, alright, yeah
Born on the bayou, do, do, do, do
[Instrumental]
Thank you
