Jambalaya (On the Bayou) Songtext
von Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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


Thibadeaux and a fountaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Well they′re dressed in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
For tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay, oh
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou
