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 and a craw fish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux Fontaine aux the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks 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 craw fish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
