Lyrics

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 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 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 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
