I feel so bad I got a worried mi-ind 
I'm so lonesome all of the time 
Since I left my baby behind o-on Blue Bayou 

Savin nickels, savin di-imes 
Workin till the sun don't shine 
Lookin forward to happier times o-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 fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see 
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy Id be 

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some o' my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again o-on Blue Bayou
Savin nickels, savin di-imes 
Workin till the sun don't shine 
Lookin forward to happier times o-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 fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see 
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy Id be 

With that boy of mine by my side 
The silver moo-oon and the evenin' tide 
Some sweet day gonna take away-ay this hurtin inside 

Ill never be blue, my dreams come true-ue 
On Blue - Ba-you...
