Lyrics The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio

South Wind

Well, I know I don't have to be told

that the North wind is chilly and cold.

Well, I know.

Far from the South wind I ran.

Now, I'm a lost and lonely man.

Well, I know.

Had a little girl but she left me. (Repeat twice)

Well, I know.

She took the sun and left me the rain

And left me the sorrow and all of the pain.

Well, I know.

She took my love and left me torn.

Now, I'm lonely and forlorn.

Well, I know.

All of my love done left me. (Repeat twice)

Well, I know.

She told me someday she'd return

If the sun should freeze or the Earth should burn.

Well, I know.

But now she's gone and in the sky

The wind alone can hear me cry.

Well, I know.

Had a little girl but she left me. (Repeat twice)

Well, I know.
