Blue Bayou

I feel so bad, I gotta 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 going back someday

Come what may on blue bayou

Where you sleep all day

And the catfish play on blue bayou

All those fishin' boats, with their sails a float

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Oh, to see my baby again (Baby)

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I'd be happy again on blue bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may on blue bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world's 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 hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On blue bayou
