CCR - Born On The Bayou - lyrics

[@JohnnysQuest75]

Even in 2020, those opening riffs still give me chills to this day. SWAMP ROCK at its best. This song is still fresh, even without the modern tech. they have today. A great classic that will live on forever.

[@joerivandeweyer3056]

Pfff todays music is covering existing samples and tunes, but in a depressing low frequency. A classic song under a trap beat, autotune & singin like you're committing suicide; that's >2020 summarized.

I am listening to the Creedence since 1969 when I was 9 and I am listening right now February 2018 .

[@randynixon5059]

I became a CCR fan in 1970. My dad died in 67 and my mom married my step dad in 1970. I was 13 and really hard on the poor guy. He was actually a real good man but we didn't talk much. Well the one thing we shared was music. He was from Lodi and the son of share croppers. He grew up dirt poor but knew his music.. CCR was formed 10 miles from his birthplace and he knew John and Tom Fogerty when they were kids. He turned out to be a good "dad" and CCR and bayou and blues music was our bond. I'm 60 now and he's been dead 14 years, but whenever this old man hears CCR I think of my step dad, a real Man...

[@attila-5491]

Anyone who loves and listen to your music will be your friend forever.

[@teddmented]

Thats a great story but Lodi, Ca. is wine country, near Napa Valley. You must be confused with Lodi, MS. Lodi, Ca is also 75 miles from the Fogerty’s hometown of El Cerritos, CA.

Back in school, our k6th grade schools talent contest had one of my class mates and his older senior high school brother perform this song and other CCR songs on stage. My class mate played the drums and his older brother had vocals and guitar. They were great and l new from then on ' that "Credence Clearwater" was going to be one of my favorite bands. total bad ass tunes when l was growing up in 1970🔧👍😎

This song has such a groove. I always loved CCR, this is one of my fav's. I saw John do this live in Vancouver about 10 years ago. I met him after the show, shook hands and got his autograph. I still got the 'T' shirt.

[@evimlck4579]

I saw him also in Vancouver. He was the opening act for John Mellencamp. By the time Mellencamp appeared, I was tired by then. Lol. John Fogerty can work up his set.

I remember, the 1st time I heard this piece. Immeadiatly, right hand reaches out blasted it. Did not care who was around I could not miss it. Was leaving Costco😂. Had to wait for song to come on radio. Was so intrigued, the voice was do familiar, the song itself was/is so nostalgic, yet modern...

Was about 6 years old listening to this being played on a cantina jukebox, didn't know what he was saying but like it anyways, here I am fifty-something years and thousands of miles away later reading what the song says.

Luv that, luv CCR..Used to work for the New Orleans Steamboat Company. I sold Miss Tina Turner her first ticket to ride a steamboat back in the early '80's. Luv her, but always luved CCR's version best of course! They got the pace of the Mississippi River and the paddlewheel..and INdeed, "the people on the river are happy to give." "Big wheel keep on turnin'". Shout out to my Captains and Crew, and all y'all!

[@Elovess]

What a music! When I heard the first time CCR, I was 7 y.o. I did not understand a single word of the English but this music sounded so good to me. It was 1972. I have the full collection of CCR.
