Emmylou Harris - Jambalaya Lyrics
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 good fun on the bayou
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Thibideaux, Fountaineaux, 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.
Jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and a fillet gumbo
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Emmylou Harris Jambalaya Comments
Love her doing any song!!❤️🎶🎶🎶🎸
Indeed Ken Burns' doc brought me here as well. An artist and band on fire, for sure. I had to check out James Burton's solo again - so incredibly fluid and tasteful. It should be required viewing for anyone into hybrid picking, One correction to an earlier comment, it's Hank DeVito on pedal steel, not Danny Pendleton.
Love & love
Canta lindo!
Enough to make this atheist believe in angels with voices.
Emmylou havin fun.
James Burton is OK, but Emmylou had a major upgrade when she got Albert Lee. He's so much cleaner and crisper than Burton.
Jimmy Burton and Emmy Lou were both "Fallen Angels" as members of Gram Parson's backup band. Jimmy practically invented Rock and Roll lead guitar playing as a member of Ricky Nelson's band, and showed the first generation of guitar players how it was done on Ricky's parent's TV show every Sunday night. Albert Lee is a bit more linear than James, but both are coming from the same source - Chet Atkin's CAGED system, played at warp speed - with a lifetime of experience on top. I'm a bit surprised to hear ANYone say anything bad about Burton, who is still amazing crowds at the NAMM shows around the country, each year.
@David Smith James Burton (along with other Presley guys) was Pasons studio musucian. The Fallen Angels were Parson's road band. It was assembled cause Presley musicians were too expensive for touring. So Burton never was a part of Fallen Angels.
Nah Hank was better
Who's the men behind Emmylou with the emmons pedal steel guitar ? Is it maybe hank de Vito or someone else ....?
I'm pretty sure your right. She introduces him in the live clip of "Tulsa Queen"
Yes, that's him.
I love this, but nothing can top the version of this song with Gram.
Tykkään kovasti..
Emmylou getting down. Love it. That's my girl.
I live in Nashville and a few years ago was standing next to her at an event for dogs (she's very big into rescue) She smiled at me and was petting my dog. I just stood there gawking and couldn't think of anything to say. I've been kicking myself ever since.
The Red Fox inn in Bethesda, Maryland brought ME here! #residency
Without a doubt the absolute best version of Jambalaya, . ever.
I guess this was just after Gram Parsons era, Hardin and Burton both on solo Gram with Emmylou. She is a force on her own!
Thumbs up if Ken Burns' doc brought ya here. It did for me.
Yep. Also, I think I'm in love....
Was just thinking of that
yea, and on to gram
The music of Emmylou and James Burton brought me here. Was watching and listening to James Burton back when he was lead guitarist for Ricky Nelson, long before he hooked up with Elvis.
Thumbs up if emmylou harris’ music brought you to ken burns.
She's got her sassy pants on for this one, luv you girl!
An amazing, amazing talent. And I have to say.......hot AF!
cc. HANK WILLIAMS!
Not much she cant sing
One of the best bands ever ....
It is really hard to believe Emmylou doing Hank. I usually do not like to see anyone mess with Hanks music but now and then someone can take one of his songs and do a good job with it. Emmylou does a decent job with this one. With James Burton on guitar I am not surprised. That makes a huge difference. She did well with the great ones song.
This is kind of a take on Webb Pierce's version of the song. The whole music world was aware of Hank, Sr and many singers of his time covered his songs and had pop hits with them. I think that Jo Stafford did a version of this, but this more rocking version was made famous by Webb Pierce(he's the guy who had a guitar shaped swimming pool made at his house); I first heard this version on an album by CCR's John Fogarty called "The Blue Ridge Rangers." But this version has been around since before 1960.
And I kinda agree with you about Hank's music; but Hank(and later on, Merle Haggard) learned from Bob Wills about having a great backing band(in fact, after the death of Hank, Sr, his steel guitar player went to work with Bob Wills). The band will keep the audience happy by playing danceable music. And a crowd that gets to do their "tribal mating dance" will buy more drinks. And they'll fight less and leave happy - which night-club owners just LOVE.
You will hardly ever see a country performer without a formidable back-up band; and they can ALL rock out. If you ever wonder what happened to Southern Rock, well, the players didn't go away - they adapted. And, along with the music of Hank, Sr, and the Eagles, you will still hear those songs played to this day.
Where’s Albert lee???
Perfect
My heartthrob,
the queen of country rocks
Superfrau.Ich liebe Sie.
THE best version ever , fantastic voice, an angel
Gran cantante Emylou. Conozco sus canciones desde fines de los años 70s en mi pais. Un gran saludo desde Santiago de Chile.
Elles étaient belles ces années 70 ! Emmylou Harris was so beautifull...
Woow... Sweet voice.. ❤❤
Like most of her songs you can hardly make out what she is supposed to be singing a lot of the time
The fact that she has got away with it for so long means that she must be doing something right
Gerald crawford. Nice to know I'm not the only one who feels that way. She's great though.
Adorei,,me lembrou de alquem muito expecial
Best ever female country singer by far.... Dolly Parton only made cos of her big ti#s n not her vocal excellence...
A MÚSICA une os povos 🖐☝️
Superbe
She has a sweet voice!
She is beautiful Just Like The Voice Magnificent Thanks 💟
Wonderful!
V hello yeah and I love you keep on singing girl cuz you the best you are my favorite singer yeah you do that old music that I like that we grow it up on when we was young have a good day

I must confess that the first time that I saw Emmylou on TV I was mesmerized by her beauty. and I would play that video over and over again....OMG what an Angel of a Girl. To this day am in love with her !
Wow James Burton on lead Guitar ....
She's a real angel!
Emmylou, a hippie chick, and the Hot Band slid in under the radar and completely surprised the Nashville scene with her voice and the quality of her music. Her arrival could not be ignored then and look where she has come to now. Love that voice and her delivery.
Une reine de la Country
Great! Greetings from Austria!
Génial
One of the greatest songs of all time from the greatest country singer of all time Hank.
Pure and Natural Beauty , Its actually Quite rare.
Un ami dans les années 80 il s'appelait alain m'a fait connaitre rose of cimaron et jamais je n'oublirai cela cette chanson m'a marqué a tout jamais merci mon ami
The angels take singing lessons from Emmylou.
My wife and I have tickets to Emmylou next week in Chico California , we are so looking forward to seeing her again , the first time I saw her was in Oakland Ca , with Merle Haggar. That was 1975 I believe . Rip Merle .......Keep Rockin the Cosmos.
uma das mais gravadas músicas de todos os tempos. linda em qualquer rítmica.
o melhor é com creedence claro
Emmylou is just great.
Gerard Larkin Haverstock ppl
I'm from Louisiana so you can imagine my delight . . .

たまらん〜、
I've been in love with you since 1977.........
Love her voice. It has a brightness. A quality I wish mine had. Plus she's so darn cute.
MARAVILLOSA
country, sweet country !
Glen D. Hardin & James Burton together ❤❤❤❤
Love that piano playing of Glen D. Hardin
I'm lovin it! Music to my ears and I can't stop listening to this song and the "Red Dirt Girl" from Birmingham, Alabama, Emmylou! I guarantee that Gram Parsons is smiling, along with other giants including Waylon, George, Johnny and June. These were people that helped Emmylou get into the Country Western scene in the mid - late 1970's. Now that same Red Dirt Girl from Alabama is being honored by many young Country Swing listeners as they are enjoying, learning, experiencing from the old timey country and western artists. This new generation of what I call "Hollywood Country"music are the phase today, but let us all remember that others paved the road for them by paying their dues thru Juke Joints to opening for Elvis. Emmylou took Hank Williams' "Jambalaya" into my generation via local fairs, beer joints and AM radio. Every True Country Music Fan needs to hear this one song that captures the very essence of real country music, worldwide!!! "Many Thanks" to Hank, Emmylou, James Burton - Rodney Crowell- Glen D. Hardin and others!!!!
What a super performer !!!!!
I love this cajun music. I love this little but vibrant legacy of the french to american folk music.
Great version.
Just Baffles the Heck out of me how many people who Claim to be Country Music Fans don't know who Rodney Crowell is !! WTH!
Dit is muziek! (zonder computers)
maravilha , ela canta lindamente e com tamanha facilidade que só uma jovenzinha tão linda poderia
Yee haw !
She is one of the giants of that era,,,,could listen to her all day.
It's really live and gleeful to watch
Kyllä irtoo tältä likalta..+++++
no way it not senior that for sure but cute
Good version but I prefer The Carpenters rendition
The pianist did not belong to the elvis group?
Bastos luiz36 Yes ,Glen Hardin ...The TCB Band
"Magnifique" !!!
Canta bem a música do jon balaio....
I wonder if Emmylou has ever taught vocal classes. There are right and wrong ways to sing which affect how long you'll have a strong voice, and when you think of the number of shows per year over how many years that Emmylou has been singing, and she still has a great voice. I'm guessing that effortless quality she has is part of it. James Taylor once said he was on a road that would've eventually taken away his voice, but his backup singers—who were formally trained—helped him relearn his approach to singing which gave him more of a future. That was in the mid-90's, so it must've worked. :)
Emmylou jamais égalée
bien d 'accord... la relève n' est pas assurée !
musica com conteudo e qualidade se eterniza...
ŠE vedno se pesem lepo posluša in je všečna
that shit put me straight to sleep no soul no feeling got damn fats domino ain't got nothing to worry about other than them fucking up his song
Ah darn thumbs down never works.
