The Wayward Wind
Lyrics
Oh, the wayward wind
is a restless wind,
a restless wind
that yearns to wander
And he was born
the next of kin,
the next of kin
to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack
by a railroad track
he spent his younger days
And I guess the sound
of the outward bound
made him a slave
to his wandrin’ ways
Oh, the wayward wind
is a restless wind,
a restless wind
that yearns to wander
And he was born
the next of kin,
the next of kin
to the wayward wind
Oh, I met him there
in a border town,
he vowed
we’d never part
Though he tried
his best to settle down,
now I’m alone
with a broken heart
Oh, the wayward wind
is a restless wind,
a restless wind
that yearns to wander
And he was born
the next of kin,
the next of kin
to the wayward wind,
the next of kin
to the wayward wind
