Blue Bayou

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 Savin' nickels, savin' dimes Workin' till the sun don't shine Lookin' forward to happier times on blue bayou I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to blue bayou Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou All those fishin' 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 goin' back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou Ah, that girl of mine by my side The silver moon and the evening tide Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
