Jambalaya (On the Bayou)

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go down the Bayou

Me gotta go, pool the pirogue down the Bayou

My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh

Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the Bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

The kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Well, and-a dress in style, go hog wild an' be gay-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the Bayou.

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an' a fil'e gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Well, a pick guitar, fill fruit jar an' be gay-o

Son of a gun, we gonna have a big fun on the Bayou.
