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 a-crawfish pie fillet gumbo

Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

Thibodeaux Fontainbleau the place is buzzin'

Dress in style go hog wild me oh my oh

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

Jambalaya a-crawfish pie fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my chere amie-o

Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap my mon to buy Yvonne which she need-o

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

Jambalaya a-crawfish pie fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my chere amie-o

Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
