Live 12 Jan 1993 version
| John Fogerty: | 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 right now, yeah | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I can remember the fourth of July |
| Running through the backwood, bare | |
| I can still hear my hound dogs barking | |
| Chasing down a hoodoo there | |
| Chasing down a hoodoo there | |
| Fogerty and Springsteen: | Born On The Bayou |
| Born On The Bayou | |
| Born On The Bayou, do it, do it, do it | |
| John Fogerty: | I wish I was back on the Bayou |
| Rolling with some Cajun Queen | |
| Wishing I were a fast freight train | |
| Just a choogling on down to New Orleans | |
| Fogerty and Springsteen: | Born On The Bayou |
| Born On The Bayou | |
| Born On The Bayou, do it, do it, do it |
