Intro to the 1971 Disney TV movie The Boy From Dead Mans Bayou starring Mitch Vogel and Mike Lookinland. Boys search for a lost bell in the swamps of Louisiana.
I remember this from 1971. One of the first TV-movies that was produced by Disney. It premiered during an episode of "The Wonderful World of Disney" which at the time was on NBC-TV. NBC aired "The Wonderful World of Disney" for an impressive 23 years on television from 1961 until 1983. And Mitch Vogel was one hot property during the early 1970's whom at the time was still doing "Bonanza". And Mike Lookinland was doing "The Brady Bunch" when this movie aired.
Had I known in what direction Disney television was headed, I would have taped everything in sight--I really miss all the old "music" cartoons and the "Wonderful World of Disney" and "Walt Disney Presents" features of my childhood.
I remember watching this on Disney Channel late at night when they you use to show the old classic disney movies An I think the person for the upload of this .
Beautiful opening theme--who sings this? Does anyone know? I saw this feature very late one August night back in 2001 on the Disney channel, along with several animated shorts from the fifties and sixties. This must have been shortly after the Disney channel's cable debut, before its "original" programming had been developed, because back-to-back classic cartoons were being offered then, even episodes of the old Mickey Mouse Club (including Spin and Marty!).
Çocukluğumda izlediğim bu filmin adını, oyuncusunu, hiçbir şeyini hatırlamıyordum. Yalnız filmdeki işte şu timsahlı, çanlı şeyler hatırımdaydı. Bir de çok büyük bir mutlulukla izlediğim... Aklıma geldikçe de senelerdir arıyordum. Bu sefer ya uygun sözcükleri aramışım, ya da google zekileşmiş :) Türkçesini bulmak mümkün olmaz ama şu introsunu görmek bile yüreğime su serpti. Keşke tekrar izlesem diyordum. Çok kişi de benim gibi aramış burada. Güzel filmdi, onaylıyorum.
Has anybody the lyrics or even better the guitar notes of it? What is the official name of the intro song? Who composed and sung it (Buddy Baker or Terry Gilkyson // Mimi Farina or ???) When I search the internet for it, I just find another song with the name 'Bayou boy' by 'Evangeline' ... :-( ... I am totally addicted to this song. I am a German 43 year old and I saw this movie in my childhood and it is, like this song was written in my heart since then. I really, really would like to start playing guitar just to learn this song. Can anyone help me please ...? --> www.filmdienst.de/film/details/45535/die-suche-nach-der-silbernen-glocke

Such a beautiful,simple song.I first heard it in the 70's and its stayed with me ever since.
I haven't heard this song since 1974 -I watched the show during the six week summer break off school .
Such care free days !
Beautiful piece of music. I can listen to this the whole day.

I remember this, even the song.
This show is what got me into kayak fishing many years in my head of having a perow boat.
Będąc dzieckiem oglądałem film i ta muzyka cudowna
I used to have this movie on a tape once I remember it I wish I can wash it someone stole it from me oh I want to watch this movie again
I'm almost sure this beautiful tune is being sung by Joan Baez and her sister Mimi Farina.
I remember Mitch Vogel. He became a regular on Bonanza from Sep. 1970 until the end of the series.
Had I known in what direction Disney television was headed, I would have taped everything in sight--I really miss all the old "music" cartoons and the "Wonderful World of Disney" and "Walt Disney Presents" features of my childhood.
Mee too
Poor Walt must be spinning in his grave at how his life's work went so wrong.
One Year is gone, from my last searching for this Video. But still now nothing to find yet.
How can we do?
Good luck everyone!

I think the singer is Lisa (Eliza) Gilkyson, the daughter of the composer Terry Gilkyson.

Bayou Boy

composed by Buddy Baker !
written by Terry Gilkyson ?
sung by Mimi Farina ?

The song of the bayou is soft as the mist.
On the quiet black water the sun 's never kissed.
It's the sound of the whippoorwill lost in the trees (Schwarzkehl-Nachtschwalbe)
The > (?) spanish most wavin' (?) < on a light morning breeze.
Come along, come along,
bring your sorrow and joy,
along with the dreams,
of a lone bayou boy.
Hear the old bullfrog sing in a deep mellow bass.
Hear a silver bell ring from a dark secret place.
Where the possum play possum when they see a strange face. (wo das Oppossum sich tot stellt)
It's a world full of music for a lone bayou boy.
The song of the bayou fills the swamp and the air.
Full of sounds you can hear but don't see anywhere.

You'll feel all the myst'ry of a strange haunted land.

Is the last verse correct in your opinion?

@@t.e.r.sven2.0vs.daskaltest59 Great job.
I have one minor correction for the last verse:
Where the big old bull 'gator looks for something to chase
(A bull 'gator being a male alligator)
The last line - you are correct - is:
In a world full of song for a lone bayou boy
Do you have the whole film?
