Born on the Bayou

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 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 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 Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans Born on the Bayou Born on the Bayou Born on the Bayou
