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,
 Working till
 The sun don't shine
 Looking forward
 To happier times
 On Blue Bayou.
 I'm going back some day,
 Come what may,
 To Blue Bayou
 Where you sleep all day
 And the catfish play on Blue Bayou.
 All those fishing boats with their sails afloat,
 If I could only see
 That familiar sunrise thru
 Sleepy eyes
 How happy I'd be.
 Oh, 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.
 Ah, that girl of mine
 By my side
 The silver moon
 And the evening tide,
 Ah, some sweet day
 Gonna take away this
 Hurting inside
 I'll never be blue,
 My dreams come true
 On Blue Bayou.
