Jambalaya (On the Bayou) [Live at Montreux] Songtext
von Fats Domino

Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me-o-my-o
We′ve gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me-oh-my-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou


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

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, place is buzzin′

Kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we gonna have big fun on the bayou

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