Blue Bayou

I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

And since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes

Work until the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come with me to Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine on Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

And maybe I'll be better again on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes

Work until the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come with me to Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine on Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Yeah, yeah

I wanna be back with me lady

Back with the rhyme

Back with me woman now back with me love

Hold her so close, suffocate her

Anything she want, I'll cater

And I promise to never leave her side

While she vows to be my wife

And that's why I can't wait to get back to my baby

I'm going back someday

Come with me to Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine on Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be
