Now when I was !just !a !little boy
standin' to my Daddy's knee
My Poppa said son don't ya !let the man
get you !do what he done to me
'Cause he'll get you now
he'll_get you right now now.
Yeah 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.
[Chorus]
Born on the bayou
Born on the ba__you
Born on the bayou.
SOLO
^I wish I was back on the bayou
rollin' with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin' I was a fat freight train,
oh, just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans.
[Chorus]
Yeah 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.
