     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

    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

E7                 D A
Born on the bayou
E7                 D A
Born on the bayou
E7                 D     A
Born on the bayou, Lord, Lord
