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