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 good fun on the bayou [Chorus] Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo 'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio 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' Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou. [Chorus]
