Middle Johnson & The Middle Johnson Orchestra - Those Bayou Summers (Cajun Viking Records)

Back in the 1960's through the early 70's, Middle Johnson and his orchestra toured all over the world. Not bad for a guy who grew up in Prairie Ronde, Louisiana. Ever since he was little, Middle had the gift of music and soul, and everyone knew it, because his grandmother always told them so.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
Take me back to the days {yeah}
Take me back to the days of those bayou summers
Take me back to the days
When we were in love
{Oh, yeah!}
[Verse 1]
We were just babies
Playing all day long
Never had no worries
Life was just a song
You were my best friend
We were never apart
And as we grew older
Your love filled my heart
[Chorus]
Take me back to the days {yeah}
Take me back to the days of those bayou summers
Take me back to the days
When we were in love
{Oh, yeah!}
[Verse 2]
Time made us older
And you moved away
To carve out your fortune
On the path that you laid
My heart was so lonely
And lost without you
But I carried on
The very best I could do
[Chorus]
Take me back to the days {yeah}
Take me back to the days of those bayou summers
Take me back to the days
When we were in love
{Oh, yeah!}
[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
Take me back to the days {yeah}
Take me back to the days of those bayou summers
Take me back to the days
When we were in love
{Oh, yeah!}
[Verse 3]
The years are behind us
And very few lay before
I'd give my last breath
Just to see you once more
For now, I'll just hang on
To these memories
And pray that you're somewhere
Thinking of me
[Chorus]
Take me back to the days {yeah}
Take me back to the days of those bayou summers
Take me back to the days
When we were in love
{Oh, yeah!}
[Fade Out]
