How lucky we were to have had this truly unique talent preserving, reinterpreting, and making these songs available to us again. Rest in peace, Mr. Redbone. You did wonderful work during this lifetime.
Today you left us - thank you for your wonderful farewell note to us all - you will be with us for always - part of our happiest memories. RIP dear Mr Redbone.
So very nice to hear the verses along with the chorus. Over the years they've rather disappeared and everyone thinks that the chorus is the entire song. Lovely arrangement. Thank you!
Voices hum crooning over Moonlight Bay Banjos strum tuning while the moonbeams play All alone, unknown, they find me Memories like these remind me Of the girl I left behind me Down on Moonlight Bay We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay We could hear the voices ringing; they seem to say You have stolen my heart Now, don't go away Just as we sang Love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay Tender lights gleaming on the silent shore Lonely nights dreaming 'till we meet once more Far apart, her heart is yearning With a sigh for my returning With the light of love still burning passing days of yore We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay We could hear the voices ringing; they seem to say You have stolen my heart Now, don't go away Just as we sang Love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay

His voice is hypnotizing! Love him!
Leon you have stolen my heart, you will be dearly missed.
Paints with his voice, music, and instrument. Truly art.
A mystery inside an enigma, wrapped in a beautiful voice. RIP
I am 80 now and only discovered his music last year! What a performer!
It’s never to late
talk about being born with the gift of a golden voice, Leon has it all .
RIP Mr. Redbone you were great
Thank you so much for bringing us back the wonderful musician that Leon Redbone was. 💔
Thanks for listening
The spirit of love is easy to hear, like Leons voice.
So sweet, so mellow, fellow babies! A pleasant time in days past. Thanks for bringing it back Leon. God Bless you buddy.
Don't know why but as I listen, I have tears in my eyes .
Thank you.
Just beautiful. What a voice and what a talent. RIR.
What talent! Miss you Leon. NH
You may, but your music will never retire. Thank You!
what great music, can't believe I never heard his very nearly perfect music.
I was lucky enough to be at one of his concerts, and actually meet him!!
i'm envious ! 👍
Time stands still with your music. Such a gift. Mahalo
I was unaware of this man until a few months before he died. Its definitely my kind of music.
So very nice to hear the verses along with the chorus. Over the years they've rather disappeared and everyone thinks that the chorus is the entire song. Lovely arrangement. Thank you!
Agreed! I love the chord pattern & melody in the verses, but so many recordings just use the chorus & treat it as the entire song
That voice is heavenly.
I absolutely love your version of this classic, Thank you, thank you!!!
Voices hum crooning over Moonlight Bay
Banjos strum tuning while the moonbeams play
All alone, unknown, they find me
Memories like these remind me
Of the girl I left behind me
Down on Moonlight Bay
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing; they seem to say
You have stolen my heart
Now, don't go away
Just as we sang Love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay
Tender lights gleaming on the silent shore
Lonely nights dreaming 'till we meet once more
Far apart, her heart is yearning
With a sigh for my returning
With the light of love still burning passing days of yore
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing; they seem to say
You have stolen my heart
Now, don't go away
Just as we sang Love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay
Thank you. Love love this.
Not passing days of yore, as is days of yore
@KatyGerman Thanks Katy for the lyrics. Can't get enough of that beautiful song.❤
he's so much more than just old leon.. just love the laid back approach
My dear old Hayward dad used to sing this.. to Aunt Dorothy..

I'm so glad my favorite singer has a youtube channel! :D
Just the best.
Thanks Leon, love it.
Adorable interpretation, thanks for sharing! :)
See ya all at Moonlight Bay!

I've seen him live a few times. He's a lot of fun... A lot of patter with the other musician. Very Laurel and Hardy...
Where are these lyrics? I only find the traditional ones. I want the ones with what I infer are Leon's additional input.
RIP
I don't exactly understand some of the verses.. if any one can post them
Dream on
A drunken stupor brought me here.
Nine people's girls pushed them out of the boat into the waters of Moonlight Bay.
