Just runnin' scared each place we go, So afraid that he might show. Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do If he came back and wanted you? - Roy Orbison

Saving nickels, saving dimes,
Working 'till the sun don't shine,
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou.
I'm going back some day,
Come what may, to Blue Bayou.
Where you sleep all day
And the catfish play, on Blue Bayou.

I was alright for awhile;
I could smile for awhile.
But I saw you last night,
You held my hand so tight,
As you stopped to say, "Hello".<p>Oh, you wished me well,
You couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you.
Crying over you.<p>When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone,
Alone and crying, crying.
Crying, crying.

Workin' all day and the sun don't shine,
Trying to get by and I'm just killing time.
I feel the rain fall the whole night through,
Far away from you California blue.
