Born On the Bayou

                                  Now 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 

'Cause he'll get you  'cause he'll get you now  now. 



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. 



[Chorus]

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 were a freight train, oh, just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans. 



[Chorus] 



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. 



[Chorus]
