[e-mail]

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 file' gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, Fontainenot, the place is buzzin’

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue

And I’ll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

A CAJUN FRENCH VERSION:

"GOODBY JOE" J'AI POUR ALLEZ, MI-O-MA-Y-O

J'AI POUR ALLEZ MOI TOUT SEUL

SUR LE BAYOU

MA YVONNE, LA PLUS JOLIE

SUR LE BAYOU

TONNERRE M'ECRASE

UN VA AVOIR UN BON TEMP

SUR LE BAYOU

----refrain----------

JAMBALAYA, DES TARTES D'ECREUVISSE, FILE GOMBO

PAR A SOIR MOI J'VA ALLEZ VOIR

MA CHERE AMI-O

JOUER L'GUITAR, BOIRE DE LA JOGUE(cruche)

ET FAIR DE LA MUSIQUE

TOMNNERRE M'ECRASE

UN VA AVOIR UN BON TEMP

DE SUR LE BAYOU

THIBODEAUX, FONTENOT, LA PLACE APRE SONNER

CA VIEN "EN TAS" POUR VOIR YVONNE

PAR LES DOUZAINES

FAIR BIEN L'AMOUR, ET FAIR LE FOU, FAIR LA MUSIQUE

TONNERRE M'ECRASE

UN VA AVOIR UN BON TEMP
