Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh

Me 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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

[ fiddle ]

Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'

Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh

Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town get me a pirogue

And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap my 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...
