OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
*Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
Walk around your corner lady, see saw your own
Now the men star right go once around tonight
Pass your partner by, corner go allemande
Come back one, swing this girl and promenade the land
**Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm a-gonna see my Cher-amio
FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides) Mainstream, corner progression
1 & 3 square thru in the middle & get 4 hands you go
Meet the corner lady there a dosado
Swing thru 2 by 2, boys run to the right
Tag the line all the way through and cloverleaf
Ladies square thru in the middle & get 3 hands around you go
Swing this boy and promenade on home
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
TAG
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Thibeaudeaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
**Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
*Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
**Swap my mon' to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
I actually own one copy of the vinyl, but it skipped so badly I couldn't make a good copy of it, so I am looking for another vinyl disk.
