Born on the Bayou

Runnin' through the backwood, bare
Born on the bayou
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'

Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'

Born on the bayou
Do what he done to me"
Wish I was back on the bayou

'Cause he'll get you now, now
And I can remember the fourth of July
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou

Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
I can remember the fourth of July
Oh, get back boy
Born on the bayou
Runnin' through the backwood bare

Wishin' I were a fast freight train
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, Lord
Born on the bayou
'Cause he'll get you
Lord, Lord
Born on the bayou

Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
