This next Music Interlude song was performed as part of the Venue "A Black and White Night" featuring "Roy Orbison and this all-star cast of friends (Bruce Springsteen, k.d. lang, Elvis Costello and more) titled "Blue Bayou," which was recorded on the Monument Records label.
LYRICS:
"Blue Bayou"
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 'till 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
I'm going back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Oh, 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
Writer(s): joe Melson, Roy Orbison

Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Roy Orbison performing "Blue Bayou" from the 1988 Black and White Night documentary which is a Cinemax television special originally broadcast on January 3, 1988.
This particular song was not included in the original show and is included on the DVD.
The eclectic ensemble of stars supporting him including Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and Kathryn Dawn [KD] Lang.
They certainly put on a great performance.
Rest in peace Roy Orbison.
