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 good fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see
My ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay oh
Son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau
The place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see
My ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay oh
Son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see
My ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay oh
Son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun
We'll have big fun on the bayou
