The DT lyrics to Jambalaya seem to have a few spelling errors. Also, apparently Moon Mullican co-wrote the song with Hank, though he was contractually prevented from being officially credited. The tune is from an earlier song called "Gran' Texas."

Here are the correct lyrics (based on the discussions in other threads in the forum, etc.):

JAMBALAYA
(tune: Gran' Texas - 1946)
lyrics: Hank Williams and Moon Mullican © 1952)

Goodby Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh,
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, sweetest one, me oh my oh,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

cho: Jambalay' 'n a crawfish pie an' file (filé?) gumbo,
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amie-o,
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontenot, the place is buzzin'.
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen,
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, buy me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon' to buy Yvonne what we need-o
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
