I feel so bad, 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' 'til the sun don't shine Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou I'm going back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where the 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 Savin' nickels, savin' dimes Workin' 'til the sun don't shine Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou I'm going back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine 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 That man of mine by my side To see the moon and the evening tide Oh, I'll never be blue My dreams come true on Blue Bayouu
