Blue Bayou

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 you sleep all day

And the catfish play

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

Maybe I'll go back there again

Maybe I'll see some of my friends

Maybe I'll be happy 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 fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where that girl of mine

By my side

The silver moon

And the evening tide

Oh some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurting inside

Oh I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou
