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.
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
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
