F                                                      C7
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind, I&#8217;m so lonesome all the time,                    
                               F            C7
since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou. 
 
F                           C7
Savin nickels, savin dimes, workin til the sun don't shine,
                            F
lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.

         F                                Gm
I'm goin back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou.
          C7                                    F
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou.
                          F             Bm
All those fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see,
     F                     C7              F               
that familiar sunrise thru sleepy eyes how happy I'd be.
 
F                         Gm 
Oh, to see my baby again, and to be with some of my friends,
             C7            F
maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou.
 
         F                            Gm
I'm goin back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou,
          C7                                       F
where the folks are fine and the world is mine, on Blue Bayou.
         F                                         Bm
Ah, that girl of mine, by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide.
     F               C7             F
Some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin inside.
                       C7                  F
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue Ba  you
