1. I feel so bad I've got a worried mind, I'm so lonesome all the time

2. Go to see my baby again and to be with some of my friends

1. Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

2. Maybe I'd be happier then on Blue Bayou

1. Saving nickels, saving dimes, working til the sun don't shine

2. Saving nickels, saving dimes, working til the sun don't shine

1. Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

2. Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

1. I'm going back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou

2. I'm going back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou

1. Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou

2. Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou

1. All those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see

2. And that boy of mine, by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide

1. That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

2. Oh, some sweet day I'm gonna take away this hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue, my dreams come true, on Blue Bayou
