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.



Savin´ nickels, savin´ dimes,

work until the sun don´t shine,

lookin´ forward to happier times, on Blue Bayou.



I´m goin´ back some day,

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, two sleepy eyes,

how happy I´d be.



Wanna see my baby again,

wanna be with some of my friends,

maybe I´ll feel better again on Blue Bayou



Savin´ nickels ...



I´m goin´ 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, two sleepy eyes,

how happy I´ll be



With that boy of mine

by my side,

the silver moon in the evenin´ tide,

oh, some sweet day...

s'gonna take away this hurtin´ inside.

Well, I´ll never be blue;

my dreams come true

on Blue Ba-you.
