[Verso 1]

    B                    B            F#               F# 
  I feel so bad, I got a worried mind; I'm so lonesome all the time 
F#                F#             B          B 
  Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

F#                   F#               B          B 
  Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see 
     B                        F#               B            B 
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
