[Verse 1]
I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou

[Pre-Chorus]
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

[Chorus]
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou

[Post-Chorus]
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'll be
[Verse 3]
Oh, that boy of mine
By my side
The silver moon
And the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
Will take away
This hurting inside

[Outro]
Well, I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
