Goodbye, JoeMe gotta go, me, oh-my-ohMe gotta goPull the pirogue down the bayou

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oSon of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, place is buzzin’Kin folk’s come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go all wild and be gay-oSon of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
