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...
