Good-bye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

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
Dress in style the go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Good-bye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

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 ma cher a mi-o
