Blue Bayou

I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind

Im 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 happier times on blue bayou

Im 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 again

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou



Im 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 hurtin inside

Ill never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
