On Blue Bayou
If I could only see
Working til the sun don't shine
Come what may to Blue Bayou
Well I'll never be blue
Oh some sweet day gonna take away
Since I left my baby behind
This hurting inside
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
Gonna see my baby again
I'm going back someday
Come what may to Blue Bayou
If I could only see
On Blue Bayou
Gonna be with some of my friends
Looking forward to happier times
How happy I'd be
Working till the sun don't shine
On Blue Bayou
The silver moon and the evening tide
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Oh that boy of mine by my side
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
How happy I'd be
I'm going back someday
My dreams come true
Where the folks are fine
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Maybe I'll feel better again
Looking forward to happier times
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat
