E7
(1)now when i was just a little boy
(2)i can remember the fourth of july
wish i was back on the bayou

standing to my daddies knee
running through the backwood bare
rollin with some cajun queen

my poppa said son dont let the man
and i can still hear my old hound dog barkin
wishin i was a fast freight train

get you and do what he done to me
chasing down a hoodoo there chasing down a hoodoo there
just a chooglin on down to new orleans

E7 D6 A
born on the bayou
born on the bayou
born on the bayou
