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 bayou
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and a-file' gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my little cher amigo
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodeaux, Fontainebleau, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and a-file' gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my little cher amigo
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
