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 the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
When those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I\'d be
Gone I see my baby again
Gone to be with some of my friends
Maybe I\'d be 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 what may to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
With the boy of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
And some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside
Well I never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
