Lyrics
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
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and a file gumbo
'Cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma chere amie, oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay, oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the Bayou
The Thibodeauxs, the Fontenots, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh, my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon, to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayouDemo Videos
