Blue Bayou Lyrics by Chris De Burgh

Footsteps 2

2011

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 ‘til 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 hurting inside
I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
