Jambalaya (on The Bayou) Lyrics - The Last Mardi Gras - Professor Longhair

Goodbye Joe, I got to go, me-oh, my-oh 

I got to go pull the pirogue down the bayou 

My Yvonne, she's the sweetest one, me-oh, my-oh 

Son-of-a-gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou 

Said, Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo 

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see ma chère amie-o 

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh 

Son-of-a-gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou 

Well, Thibodaux and the Fountainbleaux, the place was buzzin' 

Kin folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen 

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

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

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo 

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see ma chère amie-o 

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh 

Son-of-a-gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou 

Goodbye Joe, I got to go, me-oh, my-oh 

I got to move far from town, get myself a pirogue 

I won't take a whole of my friends out on the bayou 

Padle away to see my old friend, Woodrow 

Well, Jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo 

'Cause tonight I'm gonna see ma chère amie-o 

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh 

Son-of-a-gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou 

I said, son-of-a-gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou 

Son-of-a-gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
