E7
Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standing to my Daddy's knee,
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
Do what he done to me."
E7
'Cause he'll get you,
'Cause he'll get you now, now.
And I can remember the fourth of July,
[Refrão]
Running through the backwood, bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barking.

E7
Wish I was back on the Bayou.
Rolling with some Cajun Queen.
Wishing I were a fast freight train,
Just a choogling on down to New Orleans.
E7
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou;
Born On The Bayou.
