Lyrics Born On the Bayou (Live) - John Fogerty

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 were 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
