Jambalaya (On the Bayou)

(Hank Williams Sr.)



Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me-oh, my-oh

Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me-oh, my-oh

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



Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin'

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dress in style, go hog wild, me-oh my-oh

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



Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh

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

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be [a]gay-oh

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

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

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