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.
