Blue Bayou - Original

I feel so bad, I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all of the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Saving nickles!, saving dimes
Working 'till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles, saving dimes
Working 'till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

With that boy of mine
By my side
The silver moon
And the evening tide
Some sweet day
Gonna take away this hurting inside
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
