Born On The Bayou Lyrics by The Crying Spell

Disgraceland

2012

Now, when I was just a young boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
An' do what he's done to me."
Because he'll get you
Yeah, he'll get you now, now
Yes, he'll get you
He's gonna get you now
An' I can remember the fourth o' July
Runnin' down through the backwoods bare
An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
I wish I was back on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wishin' I were a fast freight train a runnin'
Just a chuggin' down in New Orleans
Down to New Orleans
Oh yeah, just a chuggin' down to New Orleans
Take me down, take me down, down
Cuz I was
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
I can remember the fourth o' July
Runnin' down through the backwoods bare
An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Down a hoodoo there
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Cuz I was born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Take me down, down, down, down, down
Down to New Orleans
Down to New Orleans
Come on and take me down
