Blue Bayou

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

Savin' nickels, savin' dimes

Working till the sun don't shine

Lookin' forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day

Come what may to Blue Bayou

Where you sleep all day

And the catfish play on Blue Bayou

All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Go to see my baby again

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I'd be happy then

On Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day

Gonna stay on Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine on Blue Bayou

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

I'll never be blue, my dreams come true

On Blue Bayou
