Blue Bayou

Roy Orbison

Verse:

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

Chorus:

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, through sleepy eyes, how happy I’d be

Verse:

Oh, 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 hurting inside

Outro:

I’ll never be blue, my dreams come true, on blue bayou
