Goodbye Joe me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me 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
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
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, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and 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 the fish in the bayou
Yeah swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
CHORUS
(Hank Williams)
