Standard (EADGBE)
Good-bye 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
Chorus
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo,
cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amie..o.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay..o,
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibodeaux, fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'.
kinfolk come to see Yvonne 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 the fish in the bayou,
swap my gun to buy Yvonne what she need..o.
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Chorus
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
