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 big fun on the bayou

Tho bo daux, fonthineaux, the place is buzzin
Kin folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, and go hog wils, me or my
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my cheramio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and bo gayo
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Setke down far from town, get me a pirag
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mom to buy Yvonne what we need
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
