clipper's remarks: love this song!

I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
since I left my baby behind
on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working 'til 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
All those fishing boats
with their sails afloat
If I could only see
that familiar sunrise
through sleepy eyes
how happy I'd be

Go to see my baby again
and to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then
on Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working 'til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back some day
gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
and the world is mine
on 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

Ah, that girl of mine by my side
the silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
gonna take away this hurtin' inside
I'll never be blue
my dreams come true
on Blue Bayou

The New Battle of New Orleans

In Twenty-O-Five Katrina let 'er rip
Took dead aim at the coast of Mississip'
Blew Pascagoula and some other towns to smithereens
Then she set her sights on the town of New Orleans

And the levees caved in and the water started risin'
And the people started climbin' up on the roof
Reporters showed up and started televisin'
And started pointing fingers and messin' with the truth

And they blamed George Bush and they blamed the head of FEMA
Global warming played a part in it too don't you know
Louie Farrakan said Bush blew up the levees
Well I guess he saw it all from his U.F.O.

They had a whole bunch of school busses ready to go
But they never cranked 'em up 'cause the mayor said "no"
Said they weren't good enough for folks to ride on
Then he told 'em all to walk to the Super Dome

Law and order left town and the gangs took over
And committed every kind of unthinkable sin
They shot up the town and trashed the Super Dome
And they showed it on Fox and CNN

And they stole TV's and they stole fine jewelry
Everybody got a new pair of Nike tennis shoes
Stole guns, DVD's, shopping carts full of beer (fur coats, cold beer)
Well they even stole some stuff that they couldn't even use

Then the mayor started cussin' and he started complainin'
Defendin' his actions on the radio
Said the Federal Government was at fault and he was blamin'
Everybody but hisself and Governor Blanco

And he blamed George Bush and he blamed the head of FEMA
Then a bunch of other politicians all jumped in
And the Reverend Jesse Jackson just couldn't stay away
He just had to show up and pontificate again

Home › F › Frank Sinatra › For Once In My Life

Writer(s): murden/miller

For once in my life Ive got someone who needs me
Someone Ive needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me

And somehow I know Ill be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you

Could make my dreams come true

For once in my life I wont let sorrow hurt me
Not like its hurt me before
For once Ive got someone I know wont desert me

And Im not alone anymore

For once I can say: this is mine you cant take it
As long as Ive got love I know I can make it
For once in my life Ive got someone who needs me
