Goodbye 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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a 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

Thibodeaux Fontainbleau the place is buzzin'

Kinfolk 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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a 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

Settle down far from town get me a pirogue

And I'm catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap my mon buy Yvonne what she need-o

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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a fillet gumbo

For tonight I'll wanna 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

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

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