Born on the Bayou    (midi)

 

    E ~ ~               E

1.           Now, when I was just a little boy,

 

    standing 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.

 

           E

2. And I can remember the Fourth of July,

 

    running through the backwood, bare.

 

    And I can still hear my old hound dog barking,

                                                     - D - A

    chasing down a hoodoo there,

        E                                          - D - A - E

    chasing down a hoodoo there.

 

                                 - D - A - E                               - D - A - E

Born on the Bayou.                  Born on the Bayou.

                                  - D - A - E    ~ ~

Born On The Bayou.

3. Wish I was back on the Bayou.

 

    rolling with some Cajun Queen,

 

    wishing I were a fast freight train,

 

    just a choogling on down to New Orleans.   + CHORUS

 

+ repeat verse 2   + CHORUS
