[Verse 1]
I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
[Pre-Chorus]
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
[Chorus]
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
[Post-Chorus]
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
[Verse 2]
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou
[Pre-Chorus]
Saving nickels saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
[Chorus]
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
[Post-Chorus]
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Well I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
