Goodbye Joe, me gotta' go, me oh my oh
Me gotta' go pole the pirogue down the buyou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun, on the buyou.

[Chorus]
Jambalaya, and a crawfish pie, and a file 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 buyou.

Thibodeaux to Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin�
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we�ll have big fun on the bayou.

[Repeat Chorus x2]

[3rd verse not released on studio cut]

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue.
Then I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap for mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
