Lyrics

1. [d]goodbye joe, me gotta go, me oh [a]my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the [d]bayou
My yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh [a]my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have good fun on the [d]bayou

Chorus:
[D]jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file [a]gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher a[d]mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be [a]gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [d]bayou

3. [d]thibodeaux, fontenot, the place is [a]buzzin'

Repeat chorus

Final chorus:
[D]jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file [a]gumbo
