Goodbye,Joe,he gotta go,me oh my oh

He gotta go-pole the pirogue go down the Bayou

His Yvonne the sweetest one,me oh my oh

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

Thibodaux,Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'

A kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dressed in style,they 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 filet gumbo

For tonight,I'm a-gonna see my,my cher au mi-oh

Pick guitar,fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

[interlude]

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue

And he'll catch all the fish in the Bayou

Swap his mom to buy Yvonne what she need-oh

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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo

For tonight,I'm a-gonna see my,my cher au mi-oh

Pick guitar,fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo

For tonight,I'm a-gonna see my,my cher au mi-oh

Pick guitar,fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo

For tonight,I'm a-gonna see my,my cher au mi-oh

Pick guitar,fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

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