Now, when I just was a little boy, |
|
standin to my Daddy's knee, |
|
my poppa said "Son, don't let the man get you |
|
and do what he done to me." |
|
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 fast freight train, |
|
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 |
