Lyrics: blue bayou

Blue Bayou

Artist: Roy Orbison (peak Billboard position # 29 in 1963)

Words and Music by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson

I feel so bad I抳e got a worried mind

I抦 so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Savin?nickels, savin?dimes

Workin?till the sun don抰 shine

Lookin?forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I抦 goin?back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou

Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou

All those fishin?boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see

That familiar sunrise thru sleepy eyes how happy I抎 be

Oh, to see my baby again

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I抎 be happy then on Blue Bayou

I抦 goin?back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou

Ah, that girl of mine by my side

The silver moon and the evening tide

Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin?inside

I抣l never be blue, my dreams come true

On Blue Bayou
