Goodbye, joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
                                       A
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
A                                  E
My yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
A                                            E      
Well jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
E                                      A     
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
A                                  E       
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,

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

A                                        E
We dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
                                        A
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
