Good-bye 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 file´ 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

Thibodeaux, Fontainenot
The plaze is buzzin´
Kinfolk 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…

Settle down, far from town
Get me a pirogue
And I´ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to bye Yvonne
What she need-o
Son of a gun, we´ll have big fun
On the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie…
