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