I feel so bad i got a worried mind
I`m so lonesome all the time
Since i left my baby behind on blue bayou
Saving nickelssaving dimes
Working`til the sun don`t shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou
I`m going back some day come what may to blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and world is mine on blue bayou
where those fishing boats with their sails float
If i could only see that familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes how happy I`ll be
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe i`ll feel better again on blue bayou
Saving nickelssaving dimes
Workimng`til the sun don`t shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou
Ohthat boy of mine by my side
Tht silver moon and the evening tide
Ohsome sweet day going to take away
