Jambalaya (On the Bayou)

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 bayouJambalaya and a crawfish pie and 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 bayouThibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dress in style, go hog wild and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayouJambalaya and a crawfish pie and 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
