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 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 the folks are fine

And world is mine on blue bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails float

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I`ll be

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I`ll feel better again on blue bayou

Saving nickels saving dimes

Workimng 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 the folks are fine

And world is mine on blue bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails float

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes

How happy I`ll be

Oh 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

Well I`ll never be blue

My dreams come true

On blue bayou
