Jambalaya Lyrics

Jambalaya lyrics

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go down the bayou

Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou

My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh

Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the bayou



Well, jambalaya an' a crawfish pie an' a fil'e gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar an' be gay-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the bayou



Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

Hey, an' the kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Well, and-a dress in style, go hog wild an' be gay-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the bayou



Well, jambalaya an' a crawfish pie, an' a fil'e gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

Well, a pick guitar, fill fruit jar an' be gay-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have a big fun on the bayou



Wanna settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue

Gonna catch all the fish in the bayou

Gonna swap my mon', to buy Yvonne, what she need-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have a big fun on the bayou



Well, jambalaya, an' a crawfish pie, an' a fil'e gumbo

'Cause, tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar an' be gay-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have a big fun on the bayou
