Born On The Bayou

G C It was a cold November evening G D And all the clothes were out to dry G C And through a neighbour's kitchen window G D C G Came the sound of a lullaby. G C It grew from soft to swinging G D That's when the fiddle sounds kicked in. G C I knew just then it was the time G D C G For la bande of us to sing. C G C D Born on the bayou, danced our lives away. C G The feet tapped out to the melody. G D C G Clapped hands in the same old way. C G C D Born on the bayou, Martin à Léo qui joue. C G Les pieds qui sautent du haut en bas. G D C G On se frappe les mains sur les genoux. C G C D C G G D C G G C C'était un long dimanche après-midi. G D Tout le monde venait chez-nous G C Pour écouter de la belle musique G D C G Et boire un petit coup. G C Les vieux, les jeunes, les hommes et femmes G D L'bébé qui fait dodo. G C Ils visitaient tous les dimanches G D C G La famille des Boudreau. C G C D Born on the bayou, danced our lives away. C G The feet tapped out to the melody. G D C G Clapped hands in the same old way. C G C D Born on the bayou, Martin à Léo qui joue. C G Les pieds qui sautent du haut en bas. G D C G On se frappe les mains sur les genoux. C G Born on the bayou C G Born on the bayou C G G D C G Born on the bayou
