Now, when I was just a little boy |
|
Standin' to my daddy's knee |
|
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you |
|
Do what he done to me" |
|
'Cause he'll get you |
|
'Cause he'll get you 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 hoodoo there |
|
Chasin' down a hoodoo there |
|
|
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Lord, Lord |
|
|
|
Wish I was back on the bayou |
|
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen |
|
Wishin' I were a fast freight train |
|
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans |
|
|
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, Lord |
|
|
|
Oh, get back boy |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Born on the bayou |
|
Born on the bayou |
|
All right, do, do, do, do |
