Goodbye Joe, me gotta' go, me oh my oh
Me gotta' go pole the pirogue down the buyou
My yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun, on the buyou

Jambalaya crawfish pie and a filet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
People come to see yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya crawfish pie and a filet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue and I'll catch all the fish on the bayou
Swap my mon' to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez a mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
