Born On The Bayou(Live Rock And Roll Hall of Fame '96) Songtext
von John Fogerty

Now, when i just was a little boy,
Standin to my daddy′s knee,
My poppa said "son, don't let the man get you
And do what he done to me."


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.
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Wish i was back on the bayou,
Rollin′ with some cajun queen.
Wishin' i where a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin′ on down to new orleans.
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
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.
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
