Gary US Bonds did a cover version with bruce Springsteen on one of his early 1980's Springsteen produced albums, perhaps the first one? I have it on CD and their version is different but nice. it has an extra verse. Jole Blon, Delta flower You're my darling You're my sunshine I love you, I adore you And I promise to be true In the evening, in the shadows I'll be waiting by the river When I hear your sweet voice I rejoice, I save my kisses for you Sha la la, sha la la..... Jole Blon, Cajun angel Let me tell you that I love you In the spring, you Swore we'd be married But I'm waiting still for you When your hair turns to silver I'll still call you Delta flower Pretty Blon, I'll still love you And I will wait for you Sha la la, sha la la..... We'll go away from this city We'll go back, girl, back to our home Some day I promise I'll take you Cause so far away we've roamed And the bells, they will ring From the mountain through the valleys On the banks of the river There you will be my bride Sha la la, sha la la......... Their version is worth listening to because it changes the phrasing a little to be more compatible with a 1960's style of pre-beatle american Rock N Roll that Springsteen was going for on the 2 comeback albums he produced for Bonds.
