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