Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes

All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true

Workin' till the sun don't shine

Ah, that girl of mine by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide
And to be with some of my friends
Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou
Oh, to see my baby again
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou

Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou

Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
