Pirogue Joe Charley Pride
Down in Louisiana where the bayou blows
Lives a little man called Pirogue Joe
He wears a red shirt and a pole cat cap
And when he walks his gum boots flip flop flap
Hes got a puppet on a string and a trick yo-yo
And a pup in his pocket called Tee Me Moe
He puts on a show everywhere he goes
Thats why they love little Pirogue Joe
musical interlude
Hes fast as a lightening quick as a cat
He can out run the best musk rat
He can make a pirogue go go go
Thats why they call him Pirogue Joe
Hes a happy go lucky son of a gun
He always has a lot of fun
He laughs and jokes everywhere he goes
Thats why they love little Pirogue Joe
musical interlude
Hes got a spot where he likes to go
The girls all dance with Pirogue Joe
He swings them high to a doe si doe
Down where they do the fain doe doe
Eats poboy shrimp drinks strawberry wine
Dance all night have a good time
They all keep time to the fiddlers bow
Thats why they love little Pirogue Joe
muslcal interlude to fade
