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
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Workin' till 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 you sleep all day and the catfish play
On blue Bayou
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat,
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Oh, to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happier then, on Blue Bayou
I'm goin back someday, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the foolks 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 hurt inside
I'll never be blue,
My dreams come true,
On Blue Bayou
