On the bayou
I feel so bad I got a worried mindI'm so lonesome all the timeSince I left my baby behindOn Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimesWorking til the sun don't shineLooking forward to happier timesOn Blue Bayou
I'm going back somedayCome what mayTo Blue BayouWhere the folks are fineAnd the world is mineOn Blue BayouWhere those fishing boatsWith their sails afloatIf I could only seeThat familiar sunriseThrough sleepy eyesHow happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby againGonna be with some of my friendsMaybe I'll feel better againOn Blue Bayou
Saving nickles saving dimesWorking til the sun don't shineLooking forward to happier timesOn Blue Bayou
I'm going back somedayCome what mayTo Blue BayouWhere the folks are fineAnd the world is mineOn Blue BayouWhere those fishing boatsWith their sails afloatIf I could only seeThat familiar sunriseThrough sleepy eyesHow happy I'd be
Oh that boy of mineBy my sideThe silver moonAnd the evening tideOh some sweet dayGonna take awayThis hurting insideWell I'll never be blueMy dreams come trueOn Blue Bayou
