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
Thibadeaux and a fountaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Well they're dressed in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay, oh
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
