Jambalaya On The Bayou
by Hank Williams

[C] Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my [G7] oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the [C] bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh [G7] my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [C] bayou.     

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet [G7] gumbo   
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher [C] amio.      
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be [G7] gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [C] bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is [G7] buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
We dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.     

Well 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, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down, far from town, get me a piroge
Gonna catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mom get Yvonne what she needs-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.     
   
Well jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo  
Cause tonight i'm gonna see my ma cher amio.   
We dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.  
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
