I feel so bad I got a worried mind, I'm so lonesome all the timeSince I left my baby behind on Blue BayouSaving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shineLooking forward to happier times on Blue BayouI'm going back someday, come what may to Blue BayouWhere the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue BayouWhere those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only seeIn that familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd beGonna see my baby again, gonna be with some of my friendsMaybe I'll feel better again on Blue BayouSaving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shineLooking forward to happier times on Blue BayouI'm going back someday, come what may to Blue BayouWhere the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue BayouWhere those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only seeIn that familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd beOh, that boy of mine, by my side, the silver moon and the evening tideOh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurting insideWell, I'll never be blue, my dreams come true, on Blue Bayou*
