Jamalaya (On The Bayou)

(Hank Williams)



Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh

Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou

My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh

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



Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

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



--- Instrumental ---



Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, 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.



Well Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio

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're gonna have big fun on the bayou...
