Jambalaya - The Residents

Last night as I lay dreaming I heard my darling call

And then I went to met her by the singing waterfall

We’d met there every evening when the sun is sinking low

We’d listen to the water as it rippled soft and low

And since she’s gone to Heaven I miss her most of all

Tonight my darling’s sleeping by the singing waterfall

Good-bye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh

Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filet gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'

Kinfolk come to see Yvonne 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

Jambalaya, crawfish pie, filet gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie, filet gumbo

'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou
