Jambalaya
by Hank Willams
Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me-oh my-oh.
Me gotta go, pole de pirogue down de bayou.
My Yvonne, de sweetest one, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we have big fun on de bayou.
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, de place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by de dozen.
Dressed in style dey go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we have big fun on the bayou.
CHORUS
Jambalaya, crawfish pie, filé gumbo
For tonight now I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o,
Son of a gun, we have big fun on the bayou.
Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all de fish in de bayou.
Swap my mon' to buy Yvonne what she need-o.
Son of a gun, we' have big fun on the bayou.
CHORUS (repeat 3x)
