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 nickles saving dimes 
Working til the sun don't shine 
Looking forward to happier times 
On Blue Bayou 

I'm going back someday [bad word] 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 

Gonna be with some of my friends 
Gonna see my baby again 
Maybe I'll feel better again 
On Blue Bayou 

Saving nickles saving dimes 
Working til the sun don't shine 
Looking forward to happier times 
On Blue Bayou 

I'm going back someday [bad word] 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 

Oh that boy of mine 
By my side 
The silver moon 
And the evening tide 
Oh some sweet day 
Gonna take away 
This hurting inside 
Well I'll never be blue 
My [bad word] [bad word] 
On Blue Bayou
