Blue Bayou
Yearning for Blue Bayou: A Melancholic Journey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
Expressing deep sadness and anxiety, burdened by a troubled mind.
I'm so lonesome all the time
Feeling intensely lonely consistently.
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou
Regretting leaving a loved one behind in Blue Bayou, a place with sentimental value.
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Saving small amounts of money diligently.
Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Working hard until sunset, possibly indicating a challenging job.
Lookin' forward to happier times on blue bayou
Anticipating a happier future in Blue Bayou.
I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to blue bayou
Expressing determination to return to Blue Bayou despite uncertainties.
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
Describing the idyllic life in Blue Bayou, where leisure and simple pleasures prevail.
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
Yearning to witness the fishing boats with sails, expressing a desire for a familiar and comforting sight.
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be
Imagining the joy of seeing the sunrise in Blue Bayou through content, sleepy eyes.
Oh, to see my baby again
Longing to reunite with the speaker's baby, suggesting a strong emotional attachment.
And to be with some of my friends
Expressing a desire to be in the company of friends, indicating a need for companionship.
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou
Speculating that being with loved ones in Blue Bayou could bring happiness.
I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Reiterating the intention to return and stay in Blue Bayou, emphasizing commitment.
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
Describing an idealized version of Blue Bayou where everything is perfect and the speaker feels ownership.
Ah, that girl of mine by my side
Romanticizing the presence of a significant other by the speaker's side.
The silver moon and the evening tide
Evoking a picturesque scene with a silver moon and evening tide, symbolizing romance.
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
Expressing hope for a future day when the emotional pain will be alleviated.
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
Conveying optimism that dreams will be fulfilled and happiness will be achieved in Blue Bayou.
