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 the folks are fine the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
All those fishing boats
with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
gonna stay
On Blue Bayou
Where folks are fine and world is mine On Blue Bayou
Oh that girl of mine
by my side
The silver moon and the tide
Oh some sweet day
gonna take away
This hurting inside
I'll never be blue my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
