Song lyrics

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.

Oh, 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 hurting inside.

I'll never be blue,
My dreams come true on Blue Bayou
