[Verse 1: Leslie Mendelson]
I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
Feel so lonesome all of the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou

[Verse 2: Leslie Mendelson]
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Lookin' forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

[Chorus: Leslie Mendelson & Bob Weir, Leslie Mendelson]
I'm goin' back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat
That I could only see
A familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

[Verse 3: Bob Weir]
Oh, to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy again
On Blue Bayou
[Chorus: Leslie Mendelson & Bob Weir, Leslie Mendelson]
I'm goin' back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Whеre you sleep all day
And the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All thosе fishin' boats with their sails afloat
That I could only see
A familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

[Guitar Solo: Bob Weir]

[Chorus: Leslie Mendelson & Bob Weir, Leslie Mendelson]
Oh, that boy of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evenin' tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away
This hurtin' inside

[Outro: Leslie Mendelson & Bob Weir, Leslie Mendelson]
I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
