I [F] feel so bad, I got a worried mind; [C7] I'm so lonesome all the time. [C] Since I left my [C7] baby behind on Blue [F] Bayou; [F] Saving nickels, saving dimes, [C] Working till the sun don't shine, [C] Looking forward to [C7] happier times on Blue [F] Bayou.
I'm going [F] back someday, come what may, to Blue [C7] Bayou. Where the [C] folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue [F] Bayou. Where those [F] fishing boats with their [F7] sails afloat, If [Bb7] I could only see. That [F] familiar sunrise through [C] sleepy eyes, how [F] happy I'd be.
[F] Gonna see my baby again; [C] Gonna be with some of my friends. [C] Maybe I'll feel [C7] better again on Blue [F] Bayou. [F] Saving nickels, saving dimes, [C] Working till the sun don't shine, [C] Looking forward to happier times on Blue [F] Bayou.
Oh that [F] girl of mine by my side, The [Bb7] silver moon and the evening tide; Oh, [F] some sweet day, gonna [C] take away this [F] hurtin' inside. Well I'd [C] never be blue, my dreams come true. On [C7] Blue [C7] Bay- [F] -ou.
