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 some day come what may
to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day

and the catfish play
On Blue Bayou

Oh those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be



Going to see my baby again
going to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel happier then
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 some day going to stay
to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And world is mine
On Blue Bayou

Oh, that girl of mine
By my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day
Going to take away
This hurting inside
Well, I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou.
