jambalaya on the bayou

John Fogerty

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou

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, gonna have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, and be gayo
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou

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, gonna have big fun on the bayou

Oh, guitar!

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, gonna have big fun on the bayou

Oh, Lord!
Hang tight, ooh Lord!
Ah, take it out.
He s comin , ah!
