Recorded by The Sons
of the Pioneers in 1936
Only known performance by Bob
Dylan: Nov 1, 2000 in Bloomington, Indiana
A Texas moon caresses you
Soft as the night (Leaving the light)
Leaving the light (Soft
as the night)
Deep in your eyes
Blue Bonnet Girl
I'm sure the southern breezes too
Call for a kiss
You never miss
As they go by
Soft as the springtime
Gentle and sweet
True as the Alamo
You'll have the world at your feet
Wherever you go
And if the clouds
Should fail to let the sunshine through
Leavin' me blue
I'll come to you
Blue Bonnet Girl
Dylan
then repeats the entire song
Dylan
sings
the "Leaving the light soft as the night" verse as shown
The
harmony vocals sing it as shown in parenthesis
Historic note: Sometime around the time this song was written, Blue
Bonnet Margarine
was a small, independent margarine vendor. In 1943 it
was purchased by Standard Brands
and became a nationally known brand . It could be possible that
the song was an inspiration
for the company name... or vise versa.
