D6I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind
BIm so lonesome all the time
ASince I left my baby behind on D6blue bayou
D6Saving nickels, saving dimes, Bworking till the sun don't shine
ALooking forward to happier times on D6blue bayou
DIm going back some day come what may to Bblue bayou
AWhere you sleep all day and the catfish play on Dblue bayou
D7All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I Gcould only
Gmsee
D6That familiar sunrise through Bsleepy Aeyes, how D6happy I'd be
D6Go to see my baby again
BAnd to be with some of my friends
AMaybe I'd be happy then on D6blue bayou
D6Saving nickels, saving dimes, Bworking till the sun don't shine
ALooking forward to happier times on D6blue bayou
DIm going back some day, gonna stay on Bblue bayou
Where the Afolks are fine and the world is mine on Dblue bayou
Oh, that D7girl of mine by my side the Gsilver moon and the Gmevening tide
DOh, some sweet day gonna Atake away this hurtin Dinside
BIll never be blue, my Adreams come true on Gblue AbayoD6u
