Текст песни Jambalaya - Leon Russell

At the start of the 1970s, Leon was asked by UK producer Denny
Cordell to play a prominent role on the forthcoming US Joe
Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour, which evolved into a
Successful feature film and a new future for Leon Russell. By 1970
Leon and Cordell had formed the successful record label Shelter
I'll tell you, where's the rest of the band, by the way?
I'll tell you what, we didn't audition for this job
You see, and we didn't really know any more songs
And we didn't tell them that when they hired us
But uh, right now I'd like to sing a song from the Hank
Williams catalog, you all know who Hank Williams is?

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

Thibodaux, Barlenoue, the place is buzzin'
People come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we gonna have a little fun on the bayou

Oh jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Whoa, tonight I'm gonna see my cher amie-o
Field blue jar and a picked guitar, we gonna be gay-o
Son of a gun, we gonna have a little fun on the bayou
