Born on the Bayou

Born on the bayou
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
Runnin' through the backwood, bare
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Wish I was back on the bayou
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
'Cause he'll get you now, now
Do what he done to me"
Born on the bayou
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
'Cause he'll get you
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
I can remember the fourth of July
And I can remember the fourth of July

Oh, get back boy

Born on the bayou
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, Lord
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Lord, Lord

Runnin' through the backwood bare
Born on the bayou
