A- goodbye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
A- kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style, they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo
For tonight, I'm- a gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay- o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle
down far from town, get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need- o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an' filé gumbo
For tonight, I'm- a gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay- o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya,
crawfish pie, an filé gumbo
For tonight, I'm- a gonna see my ma cher a mi- o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay- o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo
For tonight, I'm- a gonna see my ma cher a mi- o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay- o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo
For tonight, I'm- a gonna see my ma cher a mi- o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay- o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
