One of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s trademark songs; ironically, it was one that was entirely a work of fiction as lead singer/songwriter John Fogerty was born in Southern California and never spent any of his childhood in Louisiana or even been to the Bayou.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Now, when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
An' do what he done to me."
Because he'll get you
Because he'll get you now, now
[Verse 2]
An' I can remember the fourth o' July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Hook]
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, oh, oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Wish I was back on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
I'm just a chooglin' on down to New Orlean’
[Hook]
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, mm mm mm
Born on the Bayou
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Oh, Lord
[Bridge]
Oh, get back, boy
[Verse 2]
An' I can remember the fourth o' July
Runnin' through the backwood bare
An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Hook]
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, oh, oh
Born on the Bayou
[Outro]
All right! Do, do, do, do
Mmmmmmm, ohh
