Jambalaya (On The Bayou) Lyrics By Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

    goodbye joe me gotta go down the bayou
    me gotta go pool the pirogue down the bayou
    my yvonne sweetest one me oh my oh
    son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou

    thibodaux fontaineaux the place is buzzin’
    the kinfolk come to see yvonne by the dozen
    well anda dress in style go hog wild an’ be gayo
    son of a gun we gonna have big fun on the bayou

    jambalaya crawfish pie an’ a fil’e gumbo
    ’cause tonight i’m gonna see my ma cher amio
    well a pick fill fruit jar an’ be gayo
    son of a gun we gonna have a big fun on the bayou
