Jambalaya On The Bayou lyrics

Jambalaya
Jimmy C. Newman
Music & Lyrics : H. Williams
Notes : Also performed by `Creedence Clearwater Revival`

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 and a crawfish pie and fil? gumbo
`Cause tonight I`m gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we`ll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin`,
kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we`ll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fil?gumbo
`Cause tonight I`m gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we`ll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
and I`ll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.
Son of a gun, we`ll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fil?gumbo
`Cause tonight I`m gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we`ll have big fun on the bayou.

:
The word fil?(with an acute accent on the e,
pronounced feelay) is a spice used to flavor the soup...
