Blue Bayou

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
Workin' 'til 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 folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishin' 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 goin' back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

With that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day gonna take away
This hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
