Intro: C
C                         F        C
Down in Louisiana where the bayou blows
                           G       C
Lives a little man called Pirogue Joe
                            F        C
He wears a red shirt and a pole cat cap
                                 G         C
And when he walks his gum boots flip flop flap

C           F                        A#      F
He's got a puppet on a string and a trick yo-yo

And a pup in his pocket called Tee Me Moe
    C                   F        C
He puts on a show everywhere he goes
C
That's why they love little Pirogue Joe

C                          F          C
He's fast as a lightening quick as a cat
                         G    C
He can out run the best musk rat
                      F     C
He can make a pirogue go go go
                          G       C
That's why they call him Pirogue Joe

C       F             A#       F
He's a happy go lucky son of a gun
  
He always has a lot of fun
     C                    F        C
He laughs and jokes everywhere he goes
                             G       C
That's why they love little Pirogue Joe

C                         F       C
He's got a spot where he likes to go
                          G       C
The girls all dance with Pirogue Joe
                          F      C
He swings them high to a doe si doe

Down where they do the fain doe doe

F                          A#         F
Eats po'boy shrimp drinks strawberry wine

Dance all night have a good time
      C                     F        C
They all keep time to the fiddler's bow
                             G       C
That's why they love little Pirogue Joe
