Sides face, grand square
I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all of the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou, Allemande and weave
Saving nickles; saving dimes
Swing your girl and promenade the line
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou/

Heads square thru four hands you do
All the way and then swing thru
Boys will trade, girls will circulate
Boys run right, bend the line, do the right & left thru
Slide thru, pass thru and then
Swing the girl and promenade
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
Oh, how happy I'd be

Sides face, grand square
Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou, Allemande and weave
Saving nickles; saving dimes
Swing your girl and promenade the line
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

Sides face, grand square
Those fishing boats with their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
Oh, how happy I'd be, Allemande and weave
That girl of mine by my side
Swing and promenade
Some sweet day gonna take away
That hurtin' inside

Four ladies chain across and back
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
