1. 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
R: Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
2. (instrumental)
3. Thibay-deaux, Fountaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
R: Jambalaya...
4. (instrumental)
R: Jambalaya...
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
