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.
