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 an' do what he done to me"

'Cause he'll get you. 'Cause he'll get you mama

And I can remember the Fourth of July, runnin' through the backwood, bare

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin', chasin' down a hoodoo there

Chasin' down a hoodoo there   D A

E7                                 D A   E7                                D A

Born on the bayou

Instrumental (lotsa E then  D A E x 12)

Wish I was back on the bayou Rollin' with some Cajun queen

Wishin' I were a fast freight train Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans

Chorus

And I can remember the fourth of July Runnin' through the backwood, bare

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' Chasin' down a hoodoo there

   Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Chorus
