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

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
We 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 fillet, gumbo
Cause' tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo'
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 gayo'
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
