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 fil* 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 fil
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.

Settle down far from town, get me a
pirogue
and I'll catch all the fish in the
bayou.
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she
need-o.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on
the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie
and fil 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.
