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 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

--- Instrumental ---

Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kin folk 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

Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya 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

Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
