The Wayward Wind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Chorus)
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, I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart
