Ah,
when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My
Papa said "Son, don't let the man get you
And do what he done
to me?
'Cause he'll get you
'Cause he'll get ya now, now"
Well,
I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood
bay
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 were back on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wish
that I were a fast freight train
A-just a-choogling 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
Well
I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood
bay
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, Lord, Lord
Born on the
bayou
Alright, do
Do it, do it, do it, do it
