the wayward wind Songtext / Lyric

The wayward wind / Frank Ifield

I’m 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’rin’ ways

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

Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we’d never part
tho’ I tried my best to settle down
I’m now alone with a broken heart

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
