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
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
Solo
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
