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

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
G D7
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
D G
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodeaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
We dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down, far from town, get him a pirogue
And he catch all the fish on the bayou
Swap his mom to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we'll have bog fun on the bayou
