Jambalaya (On the Bayou) Video (MV)

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me-ohm my-oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me-ohm my-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

From Thibodaux to Fontaineaux the place 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 and a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Later on, swap my mon, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish on the bayou
Swap my mon, to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
