Good-bye Joe, we gotta go, me oh my oh
We 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
People go on Fountaineaux the place is buzzin'
People come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style the dog on wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, Im a-gonna see my my-my cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Spanish verse
Everything is going to be allright now get me a piroque
I'm goinna get me all the fish in the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
