Lyrics
Chorus
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
Chorus
I’m going back some day
Gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Ah, 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
Performance
