Well, 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
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontenot, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Yeah, dressed in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
Gonna catch all the fish in the bayou
Yeah, gonna spend my mon to get Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, yes, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on 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
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontenot, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Yeah, dressed in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
