Verse 2:
(Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
[band enters]
SFavin' nickels, savin' dimes
C7/G Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on BFlue Bayou
Bridge 1:
N.C.
I'm goin' bFack some day, come what may, to BC7lue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on BFlue Bayou
All those fF7ishin' boats with their sails afloat
If BbI could only Bbmsee
That fFamiliar sunrise thru sC7leepy eyes how hFappy I'd be
Verse 3:
(Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
Oh, to see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou
Bridge 2:
I'm goin' 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
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
Coda:
N.C.
I'll nC7ever be blue, my dreams come true
(Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay) [repeat to fade]
