From 1977, a lovely cover of the 1963 hit written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. Dreamy, wistful and melancholy song about missing home and your sweetheart.
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 'till 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 hurtin' inside
I'll never be blue,
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
