[Verse]
E7
Now, when I was just a little boy
E7 D A
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
E7
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you an'
E7 D A
Do what he done to me"
E7
'Cause he'll get you
E7
'Cause he'll get you mama
[Verse]
E7
And I can remember the fourth of July
E7 D A
Runnin' through the backwood, bare
E7
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
E7 D A
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
E7 D A
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Chorus]
E7 D A
Born on the bayou
E7 D A
Born on the bayou
E7 D A E
Born on the bayou, Lord, Lord
