Blue Bayou

I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles, saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may
To blue bayou
Where you sleep all day
And the catfish play
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
To sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Oh see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy again
On blue bayou

I'm going back someday
Gonna stay
On blue bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On blue bayou
With that girl of mine
By my side
The silver moon in the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
Gonna take away
This hurtin' inside
I'll never be blue
Dreams come true
On blue bayou
