Blue Bayou Lyrics

(originally by Roy Orbison)
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 nickles, saving dimes
Working until 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 the fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see

That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Go to see my baby again
Want to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then
On blue bayou
I'm going back someday
Gonna stay
On blue bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the 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
Take away
This hurting inside
I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On blue bayou
