Jambalaya (On The Bayou)

[Verse 1]

A-goodbye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh

He gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

His Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh

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

[Verse 2]

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

A-kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dressed in style, they go hog wild, me oh my oh

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

[Chorus]

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo

For tonight, I'm-a 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

[Flute Solo: Bob Messenger]

[Verse 3]

Settle down far from town, get him a pirogue

And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o

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

[Chorus]

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an' filé gumbo

For tonight, I'm-a 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 Break feat. Electric Guitar]

[Chorus]

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo

For tonight, I'm-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

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

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo

For tonight, I'm-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

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

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, an filé gumbo

For tonight, I'm-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

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