Good-bye joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And hell catch all the fish in the bayou

"Jambalaya" is a song by the American country music artist Hank Williams that has been covered by many artists since its release in 1952. The song tells the story of a man named Joe who has to leave his lover Yvonne and their home near the bayou to go and catch fish for a living. The chorus talks about the excitement and joy that the characters experience when they get together to have a good time on the bayou, eating some traditional foods like jambalaya, crawfish pie, and fillet gumbo.
As for the lyrics themselves, they take us on a journey through the lively and colorful world of southern Louisiana, known for its unique culture, food, and music. We see the singer Joe saying goodbye to his loved one as he gets ready to go fishing down the bayou in his pirogue, a flat-bottomed boat popular in the area. Yvonne is described as "the sweetest one" and Joe is referred to as a "son of a gun" which is a playful way of saying he is a confident and charming man.
The second verse talks about a bustling town called Thibodaux Fontaineaux where Yvonne's family resides. They are portrayed as a large, loving family who are excited to see her. The chorus repeats the idea of having fun on the bayou with some catchy wordplay, such as "pick guitar, fill fruit jar, and be gay-o."
Overall, "Jambalaya" is a joyful song that celebrates the thrilling and vibrant culture of the south, emphasizing the love of good food, music, and people. It's a song that has been popular for decades, and its lively melody and verses never get old.
