[Intro]
E7
[Verse 1]
E7 Now when I was just a little boy, standin' to my Daddy's knee E7 My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you, do what he done to me E7 'Cause he'll get you E7 He'll get you now, now."
[Verse 2]
E7 And I can remember the fourth of July E7 Runnin' through the backwoods bare E7 I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' A7 Chasin' down a hoodoo there E7 A7 E7 Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Chorus]
A7 E7 Born on the Bayou A7 E7 Born on the Bayou A7 E7 Born on the Bayou

[Verse 3]
E7 Wish I was back on the Bayou E7 Rollin' with some Cajun Queen E7 Wishin' I were a fast freight train E7 Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
[Chorus]
E7 Born on the Bayou E7 Born on the Bayou E7 Born on the Bayou E7 Do it, do it, do it, do it E7 Alright
