JAMBALAYA ON THE BAYOU
by Hank Williams Sr  1952
this is the way I do Jambalaya Key [C]                        
 
[C] Goodbye, joe, me gotta go, me oh my [G7] oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the [C] bayou.
My yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh [G7] my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [C] bayou.     
jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet [G7] gumbo   
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher [C] amio.      
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be [G7] gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [C] bayou.

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
We dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.     
Well jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo    
Cause tonight i'm gonna see my ma cher amio.      
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
