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 nickels, saving dimes,
Working till the sun don t shine,
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
Gonna see my baby again;
Gonna be with some of my friends ÂÂ
Maybe I ll feel better again on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
Working till the sun don t shine,
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
(Instrumental Interlude - half of chorus)
Oh that girl of mine by my side,
The silver moon and the evening tide;
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin inside.
Well I d never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou.
