I feel so bad I’ve got a worried mind
I’m so lonesome all of the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimes
Work until the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayoo
I’m going back some day
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where 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 feel better again on Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimes
Work until the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayoo
I’m going back some day
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
how happy I’d be
Oh that baby of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Some sweet day gonna take away
This hurting inside
Well I’ll never be blue my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
