Good-bye joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh

Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

Oh my john, the sweetest one, me oh my oh

Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou



(Chorus)

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo

'cause tonight i'm gonna meet ma cher amio

PIck guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo

Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou



Thibodaux, fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

KInfolk come to see my john 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



(Chorus)



Settle down far from town get me a pirogue

And i'll catch all my fish in the bayou

Swap my mon to buy my john what he need-o

Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou



(Chorus)
