Blue Bayou

[Verse]

I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all of 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse]

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I'll feel happy again on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes

Working till the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

[Chorus]

I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou

With that boy of mine by my side, the silver moon, and the evening tide

Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside

[Outro]

Well, I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou
