Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
CHORUS:
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, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Thibodeaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, and be gayo
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
CHORUS:
Oh, guitar!
CHORUS
Oh, Lord!
Hang tight, ooh Lord!
Ah, take it out
He's comin', ah!
