Now when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said "Son, don't let the man get ya
And do what he done to me"
Gonna getcha, gonna getcha now
I can remember the Fourth of July
Running through the backwood bay
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasing down a hoodoo there, chasing 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
Wish I was 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
Running through the backwood bay
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasing down a hoodoo there, chasing down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
