     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
[Strophe]
    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
[Refrain]
E7                 D A 
Born on the bayou
E7                 D A 
Born on the bayou
E7                 D     A     E 
Born on the bayou, Lord, Lord

E7 
Wish I was back on the bayou
E7                            D A 
Rollin' with some Cajun queen
E7 
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
       E7                               D A D A 
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
[Refrain]
E7                 D A D A 
Born on the bayou
E7                 D A D A 
Born on the bayou
