Lyrics:

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my, oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My John, the sweetest one, oh me, oh my, oh
A 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, my cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
A son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Eeh!
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see John now by the dozen
A dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my, oh
A son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Mm, Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my, my cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
A son of a gun, we'll have big fun now on the bayou
