- ♪ Whenever I hear this song I think of home. You see when I came home from the hospital, it was to my home on the bayou; the happiest place it the world. When I was younger and you wanted to find me, all you had to do was look on the bayou; from morning till night I was out having fun, during school breaks, on my boat. I knew those bayous like the back of my hand. The song is the first track on Creedence Clearwater Revival's second album, Bayou Country. It was released as the B-side of the single "Proud Mary" and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts. As the songwriter, John Fogerty, commented: "Born on the Bayou" was vaguely like "Porterville," about a mythical childhood and a heat-filled time, the Fourth of July. I put it in the swamp where, of course, I had never lived. It was late as I was writing. I was trying to be a pure writer, no guitar in hand, visualizing and looking at the bare walls of my apartment. Tiny apartments have wonderful bare walls, especially when you can't afford to put anything on them. "Chasing down a hoodoo." Hoodoo is a magical, mystical, spiritual, non-defined apparition, like a ghost or a shadow, not necessarily evil, but certainly other-worldly. I was getting some of that imagery from Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters." No copy infraction intended on my videos.
I love this song.
Fogerty is timeless
i love creedence clearwater revival
One of the greatest songs of all time
this song,..reminds me, of the way you just described,..only, that I live in Nova Scotia,..we have no Bayou's,..but we have a soul,.thats proud,...most of the "Cajuns" came from here,..some still remain,& the Acadiens, have always ,..& will forever,..be apart of my life,...bless you,..,..Je Temme,..mon amis,..
this is simply stunning, both the music and the visuals. As a guy who will never see these places sadly, i want to say that John Fogerty and Creedence have meant so much to me over the years, right from the first time I ever heard this stunning voice in the sixties until this day. I have seen Creedence at the Royal Albert Hall in the early seventies when they were then a trio and have seen JF in London since. They are my lifelong alltime favourite band ( closely followed by pink floyd..!! ) I was singing their praises over here long before they were big time. not easy in sixties UK. Your written descriptions of your childhood coupled with this video and music confirm what JF always meant and felt about the Bayou. lovely, touching, moving, evocative and left me wanting to visit....many thanks.....x
I grew up in swamp like that!.., Except that we never had an air boat... Not even a Fishing pole!... we use to hunt Gators with Machetes and my Dad was always my Hero!... 5'5" and 120 Lbs... He was my Hero RIP.
Outstanding tune....where ever you hail from. Pennsylvania coal region for me, and this tune's been a favorite all 54 years of my life. Peace.
One of their best! Swamp rock! Brilliant movie as well. THANKS A LOT.
Excellent song by John Forgerty and CCR...The video in HD captured the feeling of the song perfectly. Thanks for posting the song and video.
I love swamps!!! Love this song!!! Love New Orleans!!!
Bless you John Fogerty.
We had the same kind of thing in Florida, I really miss living on the water!! People just don't understand what it's like. To be around water all the time.
2:04 "hatched on a bayou" ....truly I never new that the bayou was so beautiful this video is wonderful. thank you Enchanted escape
I so agree, what a great job it, made me feel like I was there. I'm an Aussie and I know what a bayou is now!
Sound quality WAY better than others-and this video is perfect. Excellent all around.
IMHO this is right up there with "In a Gadda Da Vida" as one of the great classic rock masterpieces. Just a joy to listen to; pure ear candy! I love those solos and the great rhythm.
Is very good. I was just a teen when I first heard it, Japan. Headphones on, it would make me dream. Your world is a good one.
Love it, I live in New Orleans, La.
Thanks for posting this great video about a classic CCR song.
No better place to be than on the bayou !!!!
my favourite ccr track and a great video trip into bayou country, many thanks. Oi! wellington nz
Great video. I've seen those bayous, walked the cane thickets and piney woods. Family is from Eunice, Ville Platte, Oppolousas, LA, Beaumont and Woodville TX.
Being out on a sandy bank catching bluegills with only the sound of the wind through the leaves and the frogs croaking is something that eveyone should experience at least once.
Who is the fool that doesn't like this???
Thank you for this visual journey to go along perfectly with the song.

@MrDjmac1980 Thank you, have a nice day! (Gracias, tener un buen día!)
Nice video!
great video!!!
Love the little alligators :) they're so cuuute...
Had to sit down and play some drums--like RIGHT NOW...:) It was up between the HUGE Ludwig Bonham set (my favorite kit ever-ever:) and the smaller, highly affordable Sakae cocktail kit (they used to make cocktail kits for Yamaha) for 644.00 leaving Vic's Drum shop (Chicago) WITH GREAT, immensely effective but VERY, VERY light and compact hardware AND Remo coated Ambassadors as God Himself intended :). The original heads were kinda cr*p...but it's a GREAT kit. It even holds up in volume AGAINST that monster Bonham kit :) I like DW, but they don't do LOUD as well. I've seen vids where they're a bit too quiet. I've yet to see a normal Ludwig set too quiet...minus those stupid ones with no bottom heads--big in the 70's...(Karen Carpenter used that setup on the same kit Bonham had in blue).
And of course, a Ludwig 402 Bonham snare is STILL the greatest snare I ever touched, though I try not to touch too much stuff at Vic's because I WILL buy it...barely have room for what I have and I STILL want portable congas, a cajone, and the Karl Perrazo timbales...
The only downside is the pedals aren't the greatest, or at least not DW stuff. But DW stuff (one pedal) is about what the whole kit cost so...my larger guy friend says the kick walks a bit and I can see that.
Michelle M I'm looking to pass on a Ludwig Stage Party Kit, Circa 1963, if you know anyone that's interested....:) Excellent condition btw
Michelle M Three kits? Wow, good for you. Yes, Ludwig rocks for sure! :)
IPBullets one super loud Bonham kit, a little Sakae for when friends and students come by (same room) and V-drums for 4 am...
muy bueno, como si estuviese en Australia paseando con los cajún en busca de cocodrilos!!
Nice video
I'm a tag along. ready to roll.
