I feel so bad, Ive got a worried mind
Im so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Workin til the sun dont shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
Im going back someday
Come what may, to Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play
On Blue Bayou
All those fishin boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy Id be
Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe Id be happy then
On Blue Bayou
Im going back some day
Gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is 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 hurting inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
