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

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

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

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