Blue Bayou
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday come what may to Blue Bayou
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be
Gonna see my baby again
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happier then on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
And that girl of mine by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside
I'll never be blue my dreams come true on Blue Bayou
The lyrics of Engelbert Humperdinck's song Blue Bayou tell the story of a man who left his loved one behind on Blue Bayou and is now experiencing a lot of regret and loneliness. He is desperately longing to go back to where his loved one is, where he can sleep all day and the catfish play, and where he can be happier. He works tirelessly, saving every nickel and dime to make sure he can return to Blue Bayou. He even dreams of the familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes and being with his friends again. All he wants is to see his baby again and be with her forever under the silver moon and evening tide.
The lyrics are both wistful and romantic, capturing the pain of longing for someone and the hope of returning to a place where one is happy. The imagery used, such as the sleepy sunrise and fishing boats with their sails afloat, add to the dreamy quality of the song. The melody is equally haunting, adding to the melancholic nature of the lyrics. This song is a classic example of a ballad in which the listener can feel the emotions of the singer.
