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, crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodeaux, Fontenot tous leur cousins
Vien pour voire ma chère Yvonee dans la douzain
Bien habillier, mannier toque, ca fais les foux
Son of a gun, on va avoir en bon temps dessous le bayou
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, file gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Ehhh----eeeee!
Well, Thibodeaux, Fontenot the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk 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
Well, Jambalaya, crawfish pie, file gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Ehhh----eeeee!
