Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne sweetest one me oh my oh son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o 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
