Good-bye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go -- pole the pirogue dow n the bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Chorus:
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
repeat chorus
