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.
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes,
workin' till
the sun don't shine,
lookin' forward to happier times
on Blue Bayou.
I'm goin' back someday,
come what may,
to Blue Bayou
where the folks are fine
and the world is mine
on Blue Bayou
where those fishin' 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.
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes,
workin' till the
sun don't shine,
lookin' forward
to happier times
on Blue Bayou.
I'm goin' back someday,
come what may,
to Blue Bayou
where the folks are fine
and the world is mine
on Blue Bayou
where those fishin' boats
with their sails afloat.
If I could only see
that familiar sunrise
through sleepy eyes
how happy I'd be.
<Interlude>
We that by of mine
by my side
the silver moon
and the evenin?tide
some sweet day
gonna take away
this hurtin?inside
I'll never be blue
my dreams come true
on Blue Ba you
