Because it bit my finger so.

There is this kid song:
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?

Yes, you can.

But note that we don't use 'so' a lot this way in everyday speech.
