Little Richard - Born On The Bayou

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

An' I can remember the fourth o' July
Runnin' through the back wood bare
An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

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 fast freight train
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans

Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
(Do it, do it, do it, do it, oh, Lord)

(Oh, get back boy)

An' I can remember the fourth o' July
Runnin' through the back wood bare
An' I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou
Born on the Bayou

All right! (Do, do, do, do)
(Mmm, ohh)
