Circle left
Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou
Men star by the right one time round the ring tonight
Left allemande that corner weave the ring go
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and filé gumbo
Swing that girl round and round and promenade her
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Heads promenade go halfway around now
Come on down the middle pass the ocean here, extend
Swing thru come a two-by-two and let the boys run right
Ferris wheel one time round tonight, centers pass thru
Touch 1/4, walk & dodge, partner trade
Boy walk across and swing that girl around now
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
