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.

Do, do, do.

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.

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.

Do, do, do, do.
