"Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" Lyrics

(Hank Williams)

Goodbye 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.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a fillet gumbo
Hey, 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
I'm a-gonna 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.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a fillet gumbo
Hey, 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a fillet gumbo
Hey, 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...
