Blue Bayou - Lynn Anderson

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

I’m going back someday 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 through sleepy eyes how happy I’d be Gonna see my baby again

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I’d be happier then 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 someday gonna stay on Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

And that girl of mine by my side

The silver moon and the evening tide

Some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside

I’ll never be blue my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
