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 good fun on the bayou CHORUS: Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo 'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou. Instrumental Verse (Country Fiddle solo) 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 big fun on the bayou. REPEAT CHORUS Instrumental Verse (Country Fiddle solo) FINAL CHORUS: Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo 'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou. Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou. Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
