Well goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh

You pick guitar you fill fruit jar and be gay-o

'Cause I am a son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou

You pick guitar you fill fruit jar and be gay-o

'Cause I am a son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou

Yeah jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

You pick guitar you fill fruit jar and be gay-o

'Cause I am a son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou
