Jambalaya (on The Bayou) Lyrics - Tender Years - George Jones

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 good fun on the bayou. 

Chorus: 

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file' gumbo 

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio 

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh 

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

--- Instrumental --- 

Thibodeaux, Fontainbleau, the place is buzzin' 

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen 

Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh, my oh 

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