Lyrics:

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 happy-end times
On blue bayou


I’m going back some day
Come what may to blue bayou
Where the folks are fine
and the world is mine
On blue bayou
Where those 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
To be with some of my friends
Maybe I’ll feel better again on
On blue bayou

Saving nickels saving dimes
Working ‘till the sun don’t shine
Looking forward to happy-end times
On blue bayou


I’m going back some day
Come what may to blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine
On blue bayou

Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be

Oh that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day going to take away this hurting inside
We’ll never be blue my dreams come true
On blue bayou ...
