Lyrics
Roll along, blue bayou
Through the silvery foam
In the deep where sleepy shadows roam
While we roll blue bayou
In your dreamy light
Memories echo in my heart tonight
I hear the echo of
Our song of love
Murmuring low
And here am I
Still haunted by
The ghost of long ago
Roll along, blue bayou
Through the silvery foam
Roll the blue and sleepy shadows home
Roll along, blue bayou
Through the silvery foam
In the deep where sleepy shadows roam
While we roll blue bayou
In your dreamy light
Memories echo in my heart tonight
Roll along, blue bayou
Through the silvery foam
Roll the blue and sleepy shadows home
Roll along, blue bayou
Through the silvery foam
Roll the blue and sleepy shadows home.
Trivia
This segment featured animation originally intended from the deleted segment, Clair de Lune in Disney's 1940 animated feature film, Fantasia.
However, by the time Make Mine Music was released, Clair de Lune was replaced by the new song, Blue Bayou, performed by the Ken Darby Singers plus the original version of the segment still survives.
