   F
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind,
C7
I'm so lonesome all the time;
                                 F
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

Chorus:
           F
I'm going back some day, come what may,
    C7
to blue bayou
Where you sleep all day, and the catfish play,
     F
on blue bayou
                                     F7
All those fishing boats, with their sails afloat,
   A#           A#m
if I could only see
      F                          C7
That familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes,
     F
how happy I'd be

Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou

Chorus:
I'm going back some day
Gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Oh, that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away
This hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue
My dreams come true on Blue Bayou
