Bayou Rhythms: Bobby Angel's Vibrant Tale of Love, Music, and Cajun Delights
Lyrics
Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Expressing farewell, indicating the speaker's departure
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
Planning to pole a pirogue (a type of boat) down the bayou (a slow-moving stream or river)
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Referring to Yvonne as the sweetest one
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Anticipating a great time or celebration on the bayou
Oh, jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
Referring to a mix of Louisiana dishes, expressing excitement about the upcoming festivities
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Looking forward to seeing "ma cher amio" (my dear friend)
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay, oh
Planning to play the guitar, fill a fruit jar, and enjoy the evening
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Expecting a joyous and lively time on the bayou
Thibodaux Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Describing Thibodaux Fontaineaux as a lively place
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
People coming to see Yvonne in large numbers
Dressed in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Describing the crowd dressing in style and going wild
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Expecting a great time on the bayou
Oh, jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
Repeating the anticipation of a joyful evening with various Louisiana dishes
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Reiterating the excitement about seeing "ma cher amio"
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay, oh
Planning to play the guitar, fill a fruit jar, and enjoy the night
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Expecting a lively and fun time on the bayou
Settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue
Expressing the desire to settle down away from town and catch fish in a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Planning to catch fish in the bayou with a pirogue
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need, oh
Willing to make sacrifices, like swapping money to fulfill Yvonne's needs
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Expecting to have a great time on the bayou
Oh, jambalaya, crawfish pie, flllet gumbo
Repeating the excitement about the upcoming festivities with Louisiana dishes
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Reiterating the anticipation of seeing "ma cher amio"
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh
Referring to Yvonne as the sweetest one
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Expecting a lively and enjoyable time on the bayou
Said, jambalaya, crawfish pie, fillet gumbo
Repeating the excitement about the festivities with Louisiana dishes
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
Reiterating the anticipation of seeing "ma cher amio"
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay, oh
Planning to play the guitar, fill a fruit jar, and enjoy the night
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou
Expecting a joyous and lively time on the bayou
