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 --- The Wayward Wind - Gene Vincent
