Hank Williams Jambalaya (On the Bayou) lyrics

 

Goodbye Joe, I gotta go, me oh, my oh

I 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 foot and a file 'gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

 

The Thibodeaux's, the Fontenot's, the place is buzzin '

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

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

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

 

Jambalaya, and a crawfish foot and a file 'gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

 

Jambalaya, and a crawfish foot and a file 'gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma chère amie-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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