Now when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My Poppa said
"Son
Don't let the man get ya and do what he done to me"
"Cause he'll get ya"
"Cause he'll get ya now, now"
And 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 hoo-doo there
Chasin' down a hoo-doo 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
Wishin' I were a fast freight train, oh, just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Born On The Bayou
Born On The Bayou
Mmm.  Mmm.  Mmm
Born On The Bayou
Do it.  Do it.  Do it.  Do it
Born
Ah, get back, now

Well, 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 hoo-doo there
Chasin' down a hoo-doo there
Born On The Bayou
Born On The Bayou
Ow, ow!
Born On The Bayou
All right!
Do it.  Do it. Do it. Do it
Mmmm
