(J. 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.
