   E7E7
Now, when I was just a little boy
E7E7             D MajorD A augmentedA
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
  E7E7
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you an'
E7E7          D MajorD A augmentedA
Do what he done to me"
 E7E7
'Cause he'll get you
 E7E7
'Cause he'll get you mama

  E7E7
And I can remember the fourth of July
E7E7                 D MajorD A augmentedA
Runnin' through the backwood, bare
  E7E7
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
E7E7              D MajorD A augmentedA
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
E7E7              D MajorD A augmentedA
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

E7E7         D MajorD A augmentedA
Born on the bayou
E7E7         D MajorD A augmentedA
Born on the bayou
E7E7         D MajorD   A augmentedA
Born on the bayou, Lord, Lord
