jambalaya

Good-bye joe, he 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'

A kin-folk come to see yvonne by the dozen

Dress in style the go hog wild, me oh my oh

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

(*) jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo


For tonight, i'm a-gonna see my my-my cher a mi-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit far 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

Repeat (*)
