Creedence Clearwater Revival and Booker T. & the MG's - Born on the Bayou

(Alright, yeah, there you go)
(Yeah, hey, you sounded good to me)
(Sounded like)
(You've been listening close, haven't yeah)
(Yeah, here you go)
(Yeah)

Now when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My Poppa said, "Son, don't let the man getcha, do what he done to me
'Cause he'll get ya
Get ya now, now"

And I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
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, alright
Born on the Bayou, do, do, do, do

Yeah, wish I was back on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen, Lord
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
Oh, just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans

Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou, alright
Born on the Bayou
Do it, do it, do it, do it

And I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
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, alright
Born on the Bayou
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Alright

(Wow, sounded like a bomb going off)
