Oh well, I’m tired and so weary but I must go along
Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning’s so bright and the lamp is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

Goodbye 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 fillet 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

It is currently available on the “Complete Hank Williams” box set (Mercury Records, 2000). ~The songs he didn’t write (Derek Barker) |

The dark poet & brilliant musician Patti Smith returned to Bergenfest after 3 years. Last concert on June 23, 2012 – was wonderful.
