Jambalaya
written and recorded by Hank Williams 
G                             D7
Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
                                      G
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
                                 D7
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
                                       G
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
 
                                       D7
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo
                                       G
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
                                  D7
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
                                       G
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
 
                                   D7
Thibodaux Fontaineaux the place is buzzing
                                  G
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
                                     D7
Dress in style and go hog wild me oh my oh
                                       G
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
 
                                     D7
Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
                                   G
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
                                   D7
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-oh
                                       G
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
