I feel so sad got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind, on Blue Bayou
Saving nickles, saving dimes
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times, on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday, come what may, to 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

Wanna see my baby again
Wanna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
And so I saving nickles saving dimes
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Alle 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 boy of mine, by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day, gonna take away, this hurting inside
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true....
On Blue Bayou
