(Hank Williams)

Well, goodbye Joe, me 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.

Well, jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is a buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
While dress in style and go hog wild, me oh, my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Well, jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet 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.
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou.

(Thank you you're a lively group tonight I'll say that
Boy you kinda tell it's Wednesday night in Phoenix can't you okAY
Hey, you guitar pickin' man wanna do another song
I'm ready
Why not we might as well
Yeah, that's a good 'en...)
