G                                   D7    
Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh 
                                      G 
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou 
                                   D7  
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh 
                                        G 
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou 


[Refrão]
       G                                D7 
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo    
       D                                G   
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio 
G                                  D7 
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o 
         D                              G 
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
 
 
 
Thibodeaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin' 
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen 
We dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh 
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou      
 
Chorus 
 
Lead 
    
Settle down, far from town, get him a pirogue 
And he catch all the fish on the bayou 
Swap his mom to buy Yvonne what she need-o 
Son of a gun, we'll have bog fun on the bayou 
 
Chorus
