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
