Now when I was just a little boy standin’ to my Daddy's knee
My Poppa said son don't let the man get you do what he done to me
‘Cause he'll get you ’cause he'll get you now now.
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.
[Chorus]
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 were a freight train, oh, just a-chooglin’ on down to New Orleans.
[Chorus]
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.
[Chorus]
Kada sam bio malen dječak stojeći na očevim koljenima
Moj papa mi je rekao sine nemoj dozvoliti da ti čovjek učini što je meni učunio
Jer će te uzeti sigurno će te uzeti
Želja je bila da se vratim u močvaru da se valjam sa Vatrenom Kraljicom
Želeći ja sam bio u tovarnim vozom švercujući se za Nju Orleans
Rođen u močvari
Rođen u močvari
Rođen u močvati
Kada sam bio malen dječak stojeći na očevim koljenima
Moj papa mi je rekao sine nemoj dozvoliti da ti čovjek učini što je meni učunio
Jer će te uzeti sigurno će te uzeti
