Good-bye Joe, we gotta go, me oh my oh
we 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

People go on Fountaineaux the place is buzzin'
People come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style the dog on 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
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
