Born On The Bayou (John's Version)

Now, when I just was a little boy

Standin' to my Daddy's knee

My poppa said "Son, don't let the man get you

And do what he done to me"

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 where a fast freight train

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
