"Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" Lyrics

(Hank Williams)

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 fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou.

--- Instrumental ---

Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kin folk 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.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou.

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