Blue Bayou Lyrics - Raul Malo

I feel so bad I've 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. 

I'm going back some day, 

come what may, 

to Blue Bayou 

where you sleep all day 

and the catfish play on Blue Bayou. 

All those fishing boats with their sails afloat, 

if I could only see 

that familiar sunrise thru 

sleepy eyes 

how happy I'd be. 

Oh, to see my baby again 

and to be with some of my friends, 

maybe I'd be happy 

then on Blue Bayou. 

I'm going back some day, 

gonna stay on Blue Bayou 

where the folks are fine 

and the world is mine on Blue Bayou. 

Ah, that girl of mine 

by my side 

the silver moon 

and the evening tide, 

ah, some sweet day 

gonna take away this 

hurting inside 

I'll never be blue, 

my dreams come true 

on Blue Bayou.
