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 and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my mai chas amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
From Thibodeaux to Fontainaux
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
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my mai chas amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my mai chas amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
