[Verse 1]
        G                          D
Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
                                      G
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou
                                 D
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh
                                       G
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou

[Chorus]
     G                                 D
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
                                       G
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
                                  D
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo
                                       G
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
                                 G
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
                                   D
Dress in style, go hog wild, and be gayo
                                       G
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
