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 someday   Come what may to Blue Bayou   Where the folks are fine   And the world is mine on Blue Bayou      Where those 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'll feel better again   On Blue Bayou      Saving nickels, saving dimes   Working till the sun don't shine   Looking forward to happier times   On Blue Bayou      I'm going back someday   Come what may to Blue Bayou   Where the folks are fine   And the world is mine on Blue Bayou      Where 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 boy of mine by my side   The silver moon and the evening tide   Oh some sweet day gonna take away   This hurting inside      Well I'll never be blue   My dreams come true   On Blue Bayou
