Come on along, we'll take the ferry boat down to Breaux Bridge
Come on along and we'll sit upon the Bayou Teche
Sit on the oak stump and sip on the clear, clean moonshine
Hé boy, emmène ta cane à pêche

Chorus:
We gonna have a high time drinking our wine on the bayou
Gonna jump in the pirogue, gonna take it to the fais do-do
Gonna see all the Cajun ladies, don't you know
And they'll all be dancing with their Cajun beaus

Uncle Ambrose he put on his two-step rhythm
Ma tante Cléophile brought out the Chevrolet
They're going down, they wan to listen to the fiddler
He's gonna play all night 'til the break of day

Chorus

If you go dancing you see many, many fine young ladies
Surtout les belles filles qui viennent de Grand Mamou
And you can get your fill of the Cajun cooking
With couche-couche, écrevisse and filé gombo
