Verse 1
F#
I feel so bad, I got worried mind
I'm so lonesome, all the time
B
since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
F#
Save a nickel, save a dime
working till the sun don't shine
B
lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
Chorus
B F#
I'm goin' back someday, come what May to Blue Bayou
B
where the thoughts are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
B
With those fishin' boats with their sails afloat
E Em
If I could only see
B F#
that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
B
How happy I'd be
Verse 2
Wanna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
Save a nickel, savin' dimes
workin till the sun don't shine
lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
Chorus
I'm goin' back someday, come what May to Blue Bayou
where the thoughts 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 eyes
How happy I'd be
*Steel Solo*
Want that boy of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evenin' tide
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
Will I never be blue...my dreams come true
on Bl-ue Bay-ou
