Blue Bayou

I saw you smile in the sunshine

Wish I’d have known the precious time.

Now it’s quiet and reserved like a Bible in an old church pew

You surely loved your mother

Your sister and your brother

Your journey doesn’t end here darlin’

That’s why I wanna talk about everything you’ve been

So where you off to?

Some Blue Bayou with everything you love beside you

Where you off to?

She said going home

You best get on now daylight’s fading

Don’t you keep those fine folks waiting

It must be a sweet feeling going home

She’s just going home

You found a true lover

Never longed for another

You were sweeter than a peach hanging high in a Georgia tree

Your Daddy raised a fighter

I’ll bet nobody held you tighter

Does your soul still burn bright within?

As you travel off yonder to the land where you live again

Where you off to?

Some Blue Bayou with everything you love beside you

Where you off to?

She said going home

You best get on now daylights fading

Don’t you keep those fine folks waiting

It must be a sweet feeling going home

She’s just going home

So where you off to?

Some Blue Bayou with everything you love beside you

Where you off to?

She said going home

She’s just going home

She’s going home now

She’s going home now
