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
