Good-bye joe me gotta go me oh myo
Me gotta pole the pirogue down the bayou
My yvonne sweetest one me oh myo
Son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou
(chorus)
Jambalaya crawfish pie filet gumbo
Cause tonight i'm gonna see my cher-mio
Pick guitar fill friut jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/lucinda+williams/jambalaya+on+the+bayou_20224738.html ]
Fontainebleau,thibodeux, the place is buzzin
Kinfolk come to see yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style go hog wild me oh myo
Son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

(repeat chorus)

Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
And i'll catch all the fish on the bayou
Spend my mon to buy my gun for the need-o
Son of a gun we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

(repeat chorus)
