Lyrics for Blue Bayou

Roy Orbison and Joe Melson

(Not recorded by the Honeycombs but played live in current set)

I feel so bad gotta worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

Savin' nickles savin' dimes
workin' till the sun don't shine
looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm comin' back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou,
Where you sleep all day, and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
All those fishin' boats, with their sails afloat, if I could only see,
that familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes,
how happy I'd be

Oh to see my baby again,
and to be with some of my friends
maybe I'd be happier then on Blue Bayou

I'm comin' back someday, 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, oooh
some sweet day gonna take away this hurt inside

Guitar solo

Oh to see my baby again,
and to be with some of my friends
maybe I'd be happier then on Blue Bayou

I'm comin' back someday, 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, oooh
some sweet day gonna take away this hurt inside

I'll never be blue, my dreams will come true,
on Blue Bayou-ooooooooh
