A good-bye Joe, you 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, well 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, well have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, Im-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town, get him a pirogue
And hell catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, Im-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, Im-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, Im-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, Im-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
