Jambalaya    (BO 1340)   Joe Robertson

OPENER



Circle left
Goodbye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

Allemande left that corner girl, docey partner
Men star left, turn it once around that ring now
Meet your girl, turn her by the right, allemande left your corners all
Come back one, promenade on down the bayou
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, have big fun on the bayou

FIGURE



4 little ladies chain 3/4 down the bayou
1 & 3 promenade halfway around you go
Lead to the right and circle 4, break out and make your line
Go 8 to the middle and back, you load the boat and go
Jambalaya, crawfish pie and a filet gumbo
Swing that pretty little girl around and promenade her
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, have big fun on the bayou

MIDDLE BREAK



Circle left
Thibodeaux, Fonteno, the place is buzzin'
Kin folks come to see Yvonne by the dozens

Allemande left that corner girl, dosado around your own
Gents star left, turn it once around that ring now
Meet your girl, turn her by the right allemande left your corners all
Come back one, promenade on down the bayou
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, have big fun on the bayou

ENDING



Circle left
Settle down, far from town, buy me a pirogue
I'm gonna catch all the shrimp in the bayou

Allemande left that corner girl, dosado around your own
Men star left, turn it once around that ring now
Meet your girl, turn her by the right, allemande left your corners all
Come back one, promenade on down the bayou
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, have big fun on the bayou
