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 guitars fill fruit jars and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
[ steel - fiddle ]
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks 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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo...
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
