Goodbye, Joe,
me gotta go,
me oh, my oh
Me gotta go,
pole the pirogue
down the bayou
My Yvonne,
the sweetest one,
me oh, my oh
Son of a gun,
we'll have big fun
on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish
pie and a fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna
see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar
and be gayo,
Son of a gun,
we'll have big fun
on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux,
the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see
Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style
and go hog wild,
me oh, my oh
Son of a gun,
we'll have big fun
on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish
pie and a fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna
see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar
and be gayo,
Son of a gun,
we'll have big fun
on the bayou
Jambalaya and a craw fish
pie and a fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna
see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar
and be gayo,
Son of a gun,
we'll have big fun
on the bayou
