The Wayward Wind

Hank Snow

Oh, the wayward wind

Is a restless wind

A restless wind

That yearns to wander



And I was born

The next of kin

The next of kin

To the wayward wind



In a lonely shack

By a railroad track

I spent my younger days

And I guess the sound

Of the outward bound

Made me a slave

To my wandering ways



Oh the wayward wind...



Oh, I met a girl

In a border town

I vowed we'd never part

Though I tried my best

To settle down

I'm now alone

With a broken heart



Oh the wayward wind...

The wayward wind...

The wayward wind...

The wayward wind...
