Jambalaya (On the Bayou)

A goodbye Joe, you gotta go, me oh my, oh

He gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my, oh

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

And kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dressed in style, they go hog-wild, my oh my, oh

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

For tonight, I'ma gonna see my ma cher a-mio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town, get him a pirogue

And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

For tonight, I'ma gonna see my ma cher a-mio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

For tonight, I'ma gonna see my ma cher a-mio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

For tonight, I'ma gonna see my ma cher a-mio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

For tonight, I'ma gonna see my ma cher a-mio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
