Lyrics

[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 you

And do what he done to me"

'Cause he'll get you

'Cause he'll get you now-now

[Verse 2]

And I can remember the fourth o' July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

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 on the bayou, oh, oh

[Instrumental]

Wish I was back on the bayou

Rollin' with some Cajun queen

Wishin' I were a fast freight train

I'm just a chooglin' on down to New Orlean'

[Chorus]

Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou, mm, mm, mm

Born on the bayou, do it, do it, do it, do it

Alright

[Instrumental]

Oh, get back, boy

[Instrumental]

And I can remember the fourth o' July

Runnin' through the backwood bare

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, oh, oh

Born on the bayou, all right

Do it, do it, do it, do it

[Instrumental]

Mm, oh yeah
