    Question Cajun song

    Does anyone know the title to the Cajun song that goes, "Goodbye Joe,
    me got to go, me oh my oh; Me got to go, pole the pirogue (?), down the
    bayou..."? (Or the words, or the artist?) Thank-you.

    "Jambalaya (On the Bayou) by Hank Williams Sr. Go to Jambalaya (On the Bayou) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for several other cover artists.

    Good-bye joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
    Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
    Oh my john, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
    Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

    (Chorus)
    Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo
    'cause tonight i'm gonna meet 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 my john 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

    (Chorus)

    Settle down far from town get me a pirogue
    And i'll catch all my fish in the bayou
    Swap my mon to buy my john what he need-o
    Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

    (Chorus)

    Hey, um, it's not important but did you know that the words are "my Yvonne",
    not "my john"? It's misquoted somewhere. ("My Yvonne, sweetest one....";
    "Buy Yvonne what she need-o".) Just in case you cared. (No need to reply to
    this message.)
