Well goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go, pole that pirogue on down the Bayou
That's my Yvonne, the sweetest one, oh me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on the Bayou

Well jambalaya, crawfish pie, filé gumbo
Cuz a-tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher ami-o
We'll pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o, whoa whoa whoa
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on the Bayou

That's Thibodaux and Fontaineaux, this place is buzzin
The kKinfolk come see Yvonne by the dozen
They dressed in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on that Bayou

Well jambalaya, crawfish pie, filé gumbo
Cuz a-tonight I'm a gonna see my ma cher ami-o
We'll pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o, whoa whoa whoa
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on the Bayou

I'll settle down far from town, gonna get me that pirogue
I'm gonna catch all the fish in the Bayou
I'd sell me mon to get Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on the Bayou

Well jambalaya, crawfish pie, filé gumbo
Cuz a-tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher ami-o
We'll pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o, whoa whoa whoa
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on the Bayou
One more time
Well jambalaya, crawfish pie, filé gumbo
Cuz a-tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher ami-o
We'll pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we gonna have a-big fun on that Bayou
