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

Wish I was back on the Bayou

Rollin' with some Cajun Queen

Wishin' I were a fast freight train
E7
Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
