The Wayward Wind

O, the wayward wind is a restless wind

Is a restless wind that yearns to wander

On the eye was born the next of kin

The next of kin to the wayward wind

And a lovely 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 days

and the wayward wind

O, the wayward wind is a restless wind

Is a restless wind that yearns to wander

On the eye was born the next of kin

The next of kin to the wayward wind

I met her there in a border town

We vowed we'd never part

though I tried my best to settle down

now she's alone with the broken heart

O, the wayward wind is a restless wind

Is a restless wind that yearns to wander

On the eye was born the next of kin

The next of kin to the wayward wind
