-6* 7* -7* -8  -7* -8  -7* 7*   -6*  7*   -7*  -8   -7*  7*    7* 
Saving nickels, saving  di-mes, work-ing ’till the  sun don’t shine. 
-6*  7*  -7* -8  -7* -7*7*-7*  7*  -6* -6* -8 -8  7* -6*
Look-ing forward to  happier times on blue  ba-yo-u---u.

I’m go in'   back some day  come what may to  blue   ba---you.
11*  -11*  -12  -11* -11* 11* -11*  -12 -11* -11* 11* -11* 11* -10* 
Where you  sleep all day  and the   cat-fish play on  blue bay--ou. 
-11*  -11  12  -12  -12   -11* -12    12   -12-12  -12  12 -12  11* 10 -9
All those  fish-ing boats with their  sails a-float if  I could on--ly  
-6 - 10* -10*11* -10* 11* -10*  -10*    11* -11* 11* -10* -9* 9* -8 -8 -8
see that fam--il-iar sun--rise through sleep-y   ey---es, how happy I’d be. 


Go to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I’d be happy then on blue bayou

I’m going back some day, 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
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin’ inside
I’ll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
