| 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 till 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 you sleep all day and the catfish play 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
|
| And to be with some of my friends
|
| Maybe I’d be happier then on Blue Bayou
|
| Saving nickels, saving dimes
|
| Working till the sun don’t shine
|
| Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
|
| I’m going back someday gonna stay on Blue Bayou
|
| Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine
|
| On Blue Bayou
|
| And that girl of mine by my side
|
| The silver moon and the evening tide
|
| Some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside
|
| I’ll never be blue my dreams come true on Blue Bayou |
