So this was the song my mom sang to me as a kid. Love this tune to this day. So I read the lyrics and I could hardly believe what I was reading. Good stuff. Then I get to the end and it devolves into a cooking show! I mean Jambalaya is good, so are crawdads and pizza. They just have no place in a song about love and fear. The ending could be anything by these standards.For instance...........
New York City
I really miss you
You stink of bumwine, pee and b.o.
All that I love's there, I'm coming this weekend
For love I'll wear a clothespin on my nose.
SEE!?!?!?!
You Are My Sunshine
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Louisiana my Louisiana
the place where I was borne.
White fields of cotton
-- green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans;
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Isn't that ridiculous? It's like the author lost interest. A songwriter with A.D.D. Anyone want to add their own lyrics? It's Pretty easy.Gimme a ring I'll hum you the tune.hahaha.
In other news, the weather is beautiful down here and I cannot find my sandals! Arrrghhh! Anyone that may have seen them, give me a ring. Nic? Are they in the apartment? Let me know.If this keeps up I am going to have to cut up some old sneakers and start a new fashion trend. I'll post the pics here if I can't find them. This cannot go on. My feet must be free!

I thought the whole "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service" thing was against the law down south. I say you go to work barefoot, shirtless and in a pair of highwater cut frayed jeans with a straw hat, like the locals.
Mike you are only saying that so that Tommy can pave to way for your move down there after these new findings.
I don't like going shirtless, but if there was somewhere I never had to where shoes again and could wear my straw hat without fear, I'm there!
I've never seen the extended remix of "You are my Sunshine". Thanks kiddo :)
