[Verse 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
Because he'll get you
Because he'll get you now, now

[Chorus 1]
And I can remember the fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood, bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barking
Chasing down a hoodoo there[x2]

[Chorus 2]
Down on the Bayou[x3]

[Verse 2]
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 2]

[Bridge]
Do it, do it, do it, do it, Oh, Lord
Oh get back boy
[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
All right! Do, do, do, do
Mmmm, oh
