Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me got to go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
Oh, tonight I'm a-gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill the fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun gonna have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux, Fountainbleaux, the place is buzzin'
You know the kin folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
Oh, tonight I'm a-gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill the fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun gonna have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
Oh, tonight I'm a-gonna see my machez amio
Gonna pick guitar, fill the fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun gonna have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun gonna have big fun on the bayou
