Well, goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me-oh my-oh (My-oh)
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou (Bayou)
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me-oh my-oh (My-oh)
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou (Bayou)
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontenot, the place is buzzin' (Buzzin')
Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen (Dozen)
Yeah, dressed in style and go hog wild, me-oh my-oh (My-oh)
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou (Bayou)
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue (Pirogue)
Gonna catch all the fish in the bayou (Bayou)
Yeah, gonna spend my mon' to get Yvonne what she need-o (Need-o)
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou (Bayou)
Well, jambalaya, crawfish pie, and filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o
I'm gonna pick guitar, yes, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
Well, son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
