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
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
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
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

Gonna 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
Work until the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
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

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

With 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
