Goodbye Joe me gotta go down the bayou
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 acrawfish pie anda file gumbo
Yeah tonight I’m gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gayoh
Son of a gun we’ll have a little fun on the bayou
Thibodeaux fontainbleau the place is buzzin’
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style go hog wild me oh my oh
Son of a gun we’ll have a little fun on the bayou
Jambalaya acrawfish pie anda file gumbo
Well tonight I’m gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar gonna fill fruit jar and be gayoh
Son of a gun gonna have big fun on the bayou
