| Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my, oh
|
| Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
|
| My John, the sweetest one, oh me, oh my, oh
|
| A 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, my cher amio
|
| Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
|
| A son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
|
| Eeh!
|
| Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
|
| Kinfolk come to see John now by the dozen
|
| A dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my, oh
|
| A son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
|
| Mm, Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
|
| 'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my, my cher amio
|
| Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o
|
| A son of a gun, we’ll have big fun now on the bayou |
