Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt

 1. Strophe

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, work until the sun don´t shine, 

looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou. 

 

1. Refrain

I´m going back some day, 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 sun rise to sleepy eyes how happy I´ll be. 

 

2. Strophe

Wanna see my baby again, wanna be with some of my friends,

maybe I´ll feel better again on Blue Bayou. 

Saving nickels, saving dimes, work until the sun don´t shine, 

looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou. 

 

2. Refrain

I´m going back some day, 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 sun rise to sleepy eyes how happy I´ll be.

Coda

O that boy of mine by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide 

 

oh some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside. 

Well I´ll never be blue my dreams come true on Blue Bayou...
