Oh the wayward wind is a restless wind a restless wind that yearns to wonder 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 the wayward wind... Oh I met a girl in a border town I vowed we'd never part Though I tried my best to settle down I'm now alone with a broken heart Oh the wayward wind... The wayward wind the wayward wind the wayward wind
