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 gay-o son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
[ strings ]
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin' kin folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
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
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
