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 'til
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 fun
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 'til
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 fun
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 hurting inside
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
on Blue Bayou
