I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue BayouSaving nickels, saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue BayouI'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue BayouWhere those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd beGonna be with some of my friends
Gonna see my baby againMaybe I'll feel better again
On Blue BayouSaving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue BayouI'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue BayouWhere those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd beOh that boy of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day gonna take away
This hurting insideWell I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
