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 happy times on Blue Bayou I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou Where the folks are far and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see That familiar sunrise, those 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 Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine Looking forward to happy times on Blue Bayou I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou Where the folks are far and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see That familiar sunrise, those sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be On that quiet night, by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away the hurting inside Well, I'll never be blue, my dreams come true On Blue Bayou On Blue Bayou
