Lyrics

Well Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
Well My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Well Son of a gun, we'll have good fun on the bayou

Well Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio (ma cher amio)
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Well Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
And the Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Well they Dress in style, they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Well Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

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

All right ???

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'
The Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
You know they Dress up in style, yeah they're goin hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

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

Ok it's my turn to pick guitar

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin' all day long
Yes the Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen all day long
Well they Dress up in style, they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Well Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou

Well Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
