Born On The Bayou lyrics

(J.C. Fogerty)

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.

CHORUS:
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.

CHORUS

Do it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, Lord.
Oh get back boy.

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.

CHORUS

All right! Do, do, do, do.
Mmmmmmm, oh.
