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 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 hurtin' inside
 I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
