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 one day to be Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and catfish play on Blue Bayou
Where 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
Go to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd feel better again 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 one day to be Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be
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
Oh, I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
