[Verse 1]
Now [E]when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My [E]Poppa said, "Son, don't let the man
getcha, do what he done to me"
'Cause he'll get [E]ya
'Cause he'll get ya now, now

[Verse 2]
And [E]I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
And [E]I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[D]Cha[A]s- [G]in' d[E]own a hoodoo there
[D][A][G]

[E]Wish I were back on the Bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
