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' nickles
Savin' dimes
Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to
happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm goin' 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
Wanna see my baby again
And to be with
some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
on Blue Bayou
Savin' nickles
Savin' dimes
Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to
happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm goin' 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
