Born On The Bayou Lyrics

When I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
Poppa said, man, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me

'Cause he'll get you
Yeah, he'll get you now, now

I can remember the 4th of July
Standing on the backwood bare
I can remember the hound doga barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

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

Wish I was on the bayou rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wish I was on a fast freight train
When it's just chooglin' on down to New Orlean

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

I can remember the 4th of July
Runnin' down the river lair
And I can still hear the hound dogs barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou, do it now, hey
