Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh, my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Y-vonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun we’ll have big fun on the bayo
* Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzing
Kin folk come to see Y-vonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Sin 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 mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo
Son od a gun we’ll have gig fun on the bayou
(Repeat * )
