    Go to YouTube & listen to the song or google the lyrics to the song B) , see below:

    Blue Bayou
    Linda Ronstadt
    I feel so bad I got a worried mind
    I'm so lonesome all the time
    Since I left my baby behind

    Looking forward to happier times
    On Blue Bayou
    I'm going back someday
    Come what may
    To Blue Bayou
    Where the folks are fun
    And the world is mine
    On Blue Bayou
    Where those fishing boats
    With their sails afloat
    If I could only see
    That familiar sunrise
    Through sleepy eyes
    How happy I'd be
    Gonna see my baby again
    Gonna be with some of my friends
    Maybe I'll feel better again
    On Blue Bayou
    Saving nickles saving dimes
    Working til the sun don't shine
    Looking forward to happier times
    On Blue Bayou
    I'm going back someday
    Come what may
    To Blue Bayou
    Where the folks are fun

    I love Creeque Alley by the Mommas & the Poppas , and remember "greasin' on American Express cards" but I have no idea what the coins represent.

    This thread is good in theory but is way too much work if I have to look up lyrics.

    'Silver Threads Among the Gold' reminds me of my collection... ;) ...Three Coins in a Fountain is one I hum when I go to the park up the street...usually a lot more than three coins in there though...and 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime' ..... Cheers, RickO

    There is that song that includes "one more silver dollar". Midnight rider? Maybe L. Skynard?

    I think that is Greg Almond. I have Steve Miller's Your Cash ain't nothin but trash. All I had was a Buffalo.

    Allman is the spelling but yes it was the Allman Brothers that did Midnight Rider.
