Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
[Verse 2]
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
[Verse 3]
I'm goin' back some day
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day
And the catfish play on Blue Bayou
[Verse 4]
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
[Verse 5]
Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then
On Blue Bayou
[Verse 6]
I'm goin' back some day
Gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
[Verse 7]
Oh, that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away
This hurtin' inside
[Verse 8]
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
