Lyrics
Straw In The 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.
He rode in from the west with an eye for a dollar to make
He pitched us a sale about healing and oil from a snake
The barkeep, he warned him, but the man did not comprehend
How strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind
Too young, but in love when she met him in some northern town
He treated her good 'til the sun and the whiskey went down
Did the bruise on her face test the patience of all of her kin
Or do strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind
Ol' Jim runs his mouth when he drinks since his wife passed away
But he's good to the kids and the crops that he sells are fair trade
But a traveling man had enough and took a pipe to his chin
That traveling man disappeared like straw in the wind
If the mouth of this river could talk, here's what it would say
If you come here with good in your heart, you'll be on your way
But I'm not the one here who judged another man's sin
Or made strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind
Strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind
