I feel so bad
Got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
on blue bayou
Savin' nickels
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 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
Oh to see my baby again
And to be with
some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy again
on blue bayou
I'm goin' back someday
Gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are kind
And the world is mine
on blue bayou
Oh that girl of mine
by my side
Oh the silver moon
in 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
