Lyrics:

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
Pick guitar
fill fruit jar and be gayo
son of a gun
we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux
Fontaineaux
the place is buzzin'
Kinflok come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild
me oh my oh
Son of a gun
we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya ...

Settle down far from town
get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun
we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya ...

Jambalaya ...

Jambalaya ...

Jambalaya
