Transcript
00:00Round about, oh, about 15 or 20 years ago, a song was released which was an enormous success right across the world, and deservedly so.
00:16It's a beautiful, beautiful song. It was a hit again last year, but originally recorded by a man they call the Big O, Mr. Roy Orbison.
00:30I feel so bad, I got a worried mind. I'm so lonesome all the time.
00:51Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou.
00:59Saving nickels, saving dimes. Working till the sun don't shine. Looking forward to heavy times on Blue Bayou.
01:19I'm gonna make some day, God won't make some blue for you.
01:29When the force of the fire and the world is mine, I don't look by you.
01:39When the force of the fire and the boats with their snails afloat, if I could only see.
01:51In that complete sunrise, through sleeping eyes, how happy I feel.
02:03Gonna see my baby again. Gonna see my baby again. Gonna be with some of my friends.
02:13Maybe I'll be with some of my friends.
02:15Maybe I'll be happy again on Blue Bayou.
02:23Saving nickels, saving dimes. Working till the sun don't shine. Looking forward to happy times on Blue Bayou.
02:41Come back some day, God won't make some day. I'm gonna make some blue for you.
02:53When the force of the fire and the world is mine, I'm gonna make some blue for you.
03:03What did you see, all theseuras behind you.
03:05If I could only do that, you could only see.
03:11What did you see?
03:14I don't know when our bending sun rises, through sleeping eyes, how happy I think.
