Jambalaya Songtext
von Carpenters

Goodbye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we′ll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
A kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we′ll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher ami-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou


Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he′ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
Son of a gun, we′ll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher ami-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we′ll have big fun on the bayou


Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher ami-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we′ll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher ami-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we′ll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my cher ami-oh
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
