JAMBALAYA
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 fillet 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 fillet 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 fillet 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.

Very nice... I don't remember ever hearing that last verse, I clipped it and
saved it with my "Jambalaya". For the Cajun impaired among
us (my mama was an Arnold from Dry Prong, Louisiana) a pirogue
(pronounced "PEE-row") is a little boat. My 100% coon-a** cousin-by-marriage
pronounces billionaire, sometimes-politician Ross's last name the same way.

JAMBALAYA (On the bayou)
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.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'cause tonight, I'm gonna see my ma cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'
kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style they go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
**repeat here twice
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-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

for the record:
spelling is Fontenot, a very common last name in Louisiana, though i
wouldn't be surprised to see the above spelling on sheet music.
the melody to this song is taken directly from "Big Texas", recorded by
Louisiana artists such as Al Terry and Chuck Guillory
before Hank wrote new lyrics and gave it a new title.

A Pirogue is a cajun flat-bottom boat.

Jambalya is a cajun dish somewhat like a stew.

Thibodeux and Fontaineaux are two common surnames in the Bayou country.
I hope that helps you.

One additional "translation" "fillet (sic) gumbo" should be
file (with an accent on the "e") gumbo. File powder (a seasoning
made from powdered sassafrass is used to flavor gumbo & other
dishes.

A pirogue is a small boat propelled through the bayou by a pole stuck into
the mud. Jambalay is a rice dish often with chiken or sausage and, of
course, spices. Less often here in Louisiana, it is made with its
namesake, Jambon, or in english, ham. "Thibodaux", "Fontaineaux" (sic) are
common surnames in south Louisisana. The proper spelling of the latter is
Fontenot.
