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
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
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
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
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
