Blue Bayou Songtext
von 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.
