Blue Bayou Lyrics
Lynn Anderson
I feel so bad I got a worried mi-ind
Im so lonesome all of the time
Since I left my baby behind o-on Blue Bayou
Savin nickels, savin di-imes
Workin till the sun dont shine
Lookin forward to happier times o-on Blue Bayou
Im goin back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy Id be
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some o' my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again o-on Blue Bayou
Savin nickels, savin di-imes
Workin till the sun dont shine
Lookin forward to happier times o-on Blue Bayou
Im goin back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy Id be
With that boy of mine by my side
The silver moo-oon and the evenin' tide
Some sweet day gonna take away-ay this hurtin inside
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true-ue
On Blue - Ba-you...
