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 Fontain 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 (x2)
