Born on the Bayou (2013) lyrics

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 now, mmm mm (Born on the bayou)
Yeah, he get you now” (Born on the bayou, yeah)

Well, I can remember the fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog a-barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou (Yow)
Born on the bayou
Yoh, hey, yeah
Mm mm, mm mm

[Guitar solo]

I wish I was back on the bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun queen
Yeah, wishin' I were a fast freight train
Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orlean’

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou (Yoh, yeah)
Born on the bayou
Ay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, c’mon, huh
[Guitar solo]

Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou, yeah
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou

Born on the bayou
Ooh, ooh, yeah
All right

Yeah, yeah, s’all comin’

Born on the bayou…
