Asleep At the Wheel

Goodbye, [1]Joe, me gotta go, me oh[5]my oh
Me gotta go pull the pirogue down the [1]Bayou
My yvonne, the sweetest 1 me oh [5] my oh,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [1] bayou.

Well jambalaya & a crawfish pie & fillet [5] gumbo,
Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher a [1] mio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar & be [5] gay-o,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the [1] bayou.
SOLO

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
We dress in style & go hog wild, me o my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

{Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo
'Cause tonight IÂ'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, weÂ'll have big fun on the bayou


Thibodeaux, Fontainenot, the place is buzzinÂ'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, weÂ'll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo
'Cause tonight IÂ'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, weÂ'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue
And IÂ'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, weÂ'll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo
'Cause tonight IÂ'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, weÂ'll have big fun on the bayou
