Original lyrics
Born On The Bayou
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
And 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
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
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
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Alright, do, do, do, do, oh
- fourth of July:
Independence Day (colloquially the Fourth of July or July 4) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States, on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states.
- bayou:
In usage in the Southern United States, a bayou is a body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area, and may refer to an extremely slow-moving stream or river (often with a poorly defined shoreline), a marshy lake or wetland or a creek whose current reverses daily due to tides, and which contains brackish water highly conducive to fish life and plankton. Bayous are commonly found in the Gulf Coast region of the southern United States, notably the Mississippi River Delta, with the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas being famous for them. A bayou is frequently an anabranch or minor braid of a braided channel that is moving much slower than the mainstem, often becoming boggy and stagnant. Though fauna varies by region, many bayous are home to crawfish, certain species of shrimp, other shellfish, catfish, frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, American alligators, American crocodiles, herons, lizards, turtles, tortoises, spoonbills, snakes, leeches, and many other species.
- Cajun:
The Cajuns (Louisiana French: les Cadiens), also known as Acadians (Louisiana French: les Acadiens), are an ethnic group mainly living in the U.S. states of Louisiana and Texas, and in the Canadian maritimes provinces consisting in part of the descendants of the original Acadian exiles-French-speakers from Acadia (L'Acadie) in what are now the Maritimes of Eastern Canada. In Louisiana, Acadian and Cajun are often used as broad cultural terms without reference to actual descent from the deported Acadians. Historically, Louisianians of Acadian descent were also considered to be Louisiana Creoles, although Cajun and Creole are often portrayed as separate identities today. Most Cajuns are of French descent. The Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population and have had an enormous impact on the state's culture.While Lower Louisiana had been settled by French colonists since the late 17th century, the Cajuns trace their roots to the influx of Acadian settlers after the Great Expulsion from their homeland during the French and British hostilities prior to the Seven Years' War (1756 to 1763). The Acadia region to which modern Cajuns trace their origin consisted largely of what are now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island plus parts of eastern Quebec and northern Maine. Since their establishment in Louisiana, the Cajuns have become famous for their unique French dialect, Louisiana French (also called "Cajun French", although the dialect predates the Acadians' arrival in Louisiana), and have developed a vibrant culture including folkways, music, and cuisine. The Acadiana region is heavily associated with them.

Né dans le Bayou
Quand j'étais juste un petit garçon
Assis sur les genoux de mon père
Mon papa disait : "Fils, ne laisse pas l'homme t'attraper
Faire ce qu'il a fait avec moi"
Car il va t'attraper, il va t'attraper, il va t'attraper maintenant, maintenant
Et je peux me souvenir le 4 juillet
Courant nu à travers bois
Et je peux toujours entendre mon vieux chien aboyer
Y poursuivant un hoodoo
Y poursuivant un hoodoo
Né dans le bayou
Né dans le bayou
Né dans le bayou
J'aimerais revenir dans le bayou
Rouler avec une reine Cajun
J'aimerais être un train de marchandises rapide
Faisant juste tchou tchou en route pour la Nouvelle Orléans
Né dans le bayou
Né dans le bayou
Né dans le bayou
Fais-le, fais-le, fais-le fais-le, oh, Seigneur
Oh, reviens, garçon
Je peux me souvenir le 4 juillet
Courant nu à travers bois
Et je peux toujours entendre mon vieux chien aboyer
Y poursuivant un hoodoo
Y poursuivant un hoodoo
Né dans le bayou
Né dans le bayou
Né dans le bayou
Très bien, dou, dou, dou, dou, oh
