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 some
day come what may
to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are
fine and the world is
mine on Blue Bayou
All 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 some
day come what may
to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are
fine and the world is
mine on Blue Bayou
All 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
Some sweet day gonna
take away this
hurting inside
I'll never be blue my
dreams come true
on Blue Bayou
