Good-bye, 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. Refrain: Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo, 'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o; Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh, Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou. Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, 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 guin, we'll have big fun on the bayou. Refrain: Settle down far from town, bet me a pirogue, And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou; Trade my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-oh, Son of a guin, we'll have big fun on the bayou. Refrain:
