[E]
I went out with just a little boy, standing too mad at me.
My papa said, son, don't let a man get you, do what he done to me.
Don't forget you, don't forget you, Nana.
And I can remember July, my wood bear.
[A] [E] And I can still hear my organ, chasing down a hoodoo there.
[D] [A] [E] Chasing down a hoodoo there.

I wish I were baked on a fire, rolling with some Cajun queen.
Wishing I were a fat, great, great, a double juggling on down to New Orleans.
Born on a bayou, [D] [E]
born on a bayou, [D] [E]
born on a bayou.

Hold on.
I'll get back, honey.

I can remember the 4th of July, running through the backwoods, babe.
[A] [Em] [E] And I can still hear my organ, chasing down a hoodoo there.
