A good-bye Joe he gotta go me oh my oh
A he gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
A his Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
A Kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style they 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 fillet gumbo
For tonight down I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his 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 fillet gumbo
For tonight down I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight down I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight down I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
