"Born on the Bayou" is the first track on Creedence Clearwater Revival's second album, Bayou Country. As the author, John Fogerty, commented: "Born on the Bayou" was vaguely like "Porterville," about a mythical childhood and a heat-filled time, the Fourth of July.

Creedence Lyrics: Born On The Bayou 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." 'Cause he'll get you, 'Cause he'll get you now, now. And I can remember the fourth of July, Running through the backwood, bare. And I can still hear my old hound dog barking,

Another classic song of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
