Lyrics Jambalaya (On The Bayou) - George Jones

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 big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya, an' a-crawfish pie an' a-filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm-a gonna see my ma cher'e amio
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

From Thibodeaux to Fontainaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, an' go hog wild, and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Yeah, jambalaya, an' a-crawfish pie and-a filé gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma little chaisse amio
I'm gonna pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou!
