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 backwoods 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

Yoh yoh

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

Get back boy

Get back boy

Get back boy

Get back boy
