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 going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where there’s 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 better again on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels saving dimes
Working ‘til the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where there’s fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
Oh with that boy of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
Going to take away this hurting inside
Oh, I’ll never be blue
My dreams come true on the Blue Bayou
