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 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 there's fishing boats with their sails afloat If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be Going to see my baby again Going to be with some of my friends Maybe I'll feel better again 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 there's fishing boats with their sails afloat If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be Oh with that boy of mine by my side The silver moon and the evening tide Oh some sweet day Going to take away this hurting inside Oh, I'll never be blue My dreams come true on the Blue Bayou
