Blue Bayou C

Blue Bayou  written by Joe Melson and Roy Orbison

C                        G7
I feel so bad I got a worried mind - I'm so lonesome all the time
                                 C
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
 C                               G7
Saving nickels saving dimes - Working till the sun don't shine
                                     C
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
                                          G7
I'm going back someday come what may to Blue Bayou
                                                 C
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
                C7                                   F             Fm
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
          C                     G7              C
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be


Gonna see my baby again
G7
Gonna be with some of my friends
                            C
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou
 C                              G7
Saving nickels saving dimes - Working till the sun don't shine
                                      C
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou


                                       G7
I'm going back some day gonna stay on Blue Bayou
                                                   C
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
                     C7              F                   Fm
Oh that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
     C                   G7              C
Oh some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside
          G7                                           C
Well I'd never be blue my dreams come true - On Blue Bayou
