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
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working 'til the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where the fishing boats with their sails afloat If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby again Gonna be with some of my friends Maybe I'd feel better again on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working until the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where all 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 man of mine by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide Oh, I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
