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 dont 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 Id be
Go to see my baby again,
and to be with some of my friends
Maybe Id 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 hurting inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true, on blue bayou
