Jambalaya

Finally…it happened.
It was almost by accident that I spotted the lyrics for Jambalaya. I consider this to be plain luck, because I’ve been curious about it every time I heard the song, but never really bothered to look it up. Carpenters have used a slightly different lyrics compared to Hank Williams Jr. I’ll record the Carpenters’ version because I like it better.
I liked all the funny uncommon words here each of which is worth further examination.
e.g. See here to learn about pirouges
Lyrics to Jambalaya
Good-bye joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou
His yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, fontaineaux the place is buzzin’
A kin-folk come to see yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style the go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I’m a-gonna see my my-my cher a mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he’ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap his mon to buy yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
