Blue Bayou

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
 Workin' '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 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 I'd be
 Go to see my baby again
 And to be with some of my friends
 Maybe I'd be happy then
 On Blue Bayou
 I'm 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
 I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
 On Blue Bayou
