Good-bye Joe, he gotta go

He gotta go pole the
pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one

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 jar
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
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 jar
and be gay-o
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 jar
and be gay-o
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 jar
and be gay-o
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 jar
and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have
