Goodbye, joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
                                       A5
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
A5                                  E5
My yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.
                                        A5
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
A5                                            E5      
Well jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
E5                                      A5     
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
A5                                  E5       
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
                                        A5
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
