Paragraph Lyric
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-jublin' 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
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-jublin' 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
