The Wayward Wind

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 wand'ring ways

And 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

Oh I met a girl in a border town

I vowed we'd never part

Tho' I tried my best to settle down

She's now alone with a broken heart

And 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

The next of kin to the wayward wind
