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
Work until the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm goin' back some day, come what may,
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishingboats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise to sleepy eyes -
How happy I'll be
Gonna see my baby again
Wanna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Work until 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 folksa are fine
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishingboats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise two sleepy eyes -
How happy I'd be
O that girl of mine
By my side
The silver moon and the evenin' tide
Oh some sweet day
Gonna take away this hurtin' inside
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Ba-you
