Born on the Bayou

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Now, when I was just a little boy Standin' to my daddy's knee My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you An' do what he done to me" Because he'll get you Because he'll get you now-now [Verse 2] An' I can remember the fourth o' July Runnin' through the backwood bare An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin' Chasin' down a hoodoo there Chasin' down a hoodoo there [Hook] Born on the Bayou Born on the Bayou Born on the Bayou, oh, oh [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Wish I was back on the Bayou Rollin' with some Cajun queen Wishin' I were a fast freight train I'm just a chooglin' on down to New Orlean' [Hook] Born on the Bayou Born on the Bayou, mm, mm, mm Born on the Bayou Do it, do it, do it, do it Oh, Lord [Guitar Solo] Oh, get back, boy [Verse 2] An' I can remember the fourth o' July Runnin' through the backwood bare An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin' Chasin' down a hoodoo there Chasin' down a hoodoo there [Hook] Born on the Bayou Born on the Bayou, oh, oh Born on the Bayou [Outro] All right! Do, do, do, do Mmm, oh
