Roy Orbison - Blue Bayou

I feel so bad, I've 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 some day

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where you sleep all day

And the catfish play

On Blue Bayou

All those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes,

How happy I'd be

Go to see my baby again

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I'd be happy then

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back some day,

Gonna stay on Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Oh, that girl of mine by my side

The silver moon and the evening tide

Oh, some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue,

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou
