"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)" lyrics - NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go down the Bayou
Me gotta go, pool the pirogue down the Bayou
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the Bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
The kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Well, and-a dress in style, go hog wild an' be gay-o
Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the Bayou.

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an' a fil'e gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Well, a pick guitar, fill fruit jar an' be gay-o
Son of a gun, we gonna have a big fun on the Bayou.
