I feel so bad I've 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 until the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times on
Blue Bayou.
I'm going back some day 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
Go to see my baby againAnd to be with some of my friends Maybe I'd be happy then on
Blue Bayou.
I'm going back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on
Blue Bayou. Oh, that girl of mine
by my side the
silver moon and the
evening tide Oh,
some sweet day gonna
take away this
hurting inside. I'll
never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Ba
