Lyrics Leon Russell – Jambalaya (On The Bayou)

Goodbye Joe, me gotta’ go, me oh my oh
Me gotta’ go pole the pirogue down the buyou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun, on the buyou

Jumbalaya, and a crawfish pie, and a file gumbo
Cause’ tonight I’m gonna’ see my Machez a mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay- oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun, on the buyou

Thibodeaux, fontainbleau, the place is buzzin’
Kinfolk come to see yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Jumbalaya, and a crawfish pie, and a file gumbo
Cause’ tonight I’m gonna’ see my Machez a mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay- oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun, on the buyou

Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my Machez a mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
