Verse 1:
I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind
Im so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou (blue bayou)
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou,
Chrous:
Im going back some day 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
Verse 2:
Go to see my baby again (baby again)
And to be with some of my friends (some of my friends)
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou,
Chorus:
Im going back some day 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
Verse 3:
I wanna be back with my lady, back with me one
Back with me women, oh back with me love,
Hold her so close, suffocate her,
anything she want ill cater,
And I promise to never leave her side,
While she vows to be my wife,
Thats why, I cant wait to get back to my baby!
Chrous:
Im going back some day 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.
