Do, do, do, do, do
'Cause he'll get you
Runnin' through the backwood bare
My Poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Born on the Bayou
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
Born on the Bayou
And I can remember the fourth of July
And I can remember the fourth of July
All right
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Wish I was back on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the Bayou
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Born on the Bayou
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born on the Bayou
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Do what he done to me"
Runnin' through the backwood bare
Oh, Lord
Oh get back boy
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
'Cause he'll get you now, now
