Blue Bayou

I feel so bad, I got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes

Working till the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may 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

Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes

Working till the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may 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

Oh, that boy of mine

By my side

The silver moon and the evening tide

Oh, some sweet day

Gonna take away this hurtin' inside

Well, I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou
