The Wayward Wind

Oh the Wayward Wind
Is a restless wind
A restless wind
That yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
A next of kin to the Wayward Wind

In a lonely shack on a railroad track
He spent his younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound
Made him a slave to his wandering ways

Oh the Wayward Wind is a restless wind
A restless wind
That yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
A next of kin to the Wayward Wind

Oh I met him there in a border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
Now I'm alone, with a broken heart

Oh the Wayward Wind is a restless wind
A restless wind
That yearns to wander
And he was born the next of kin
A next of kin to the Wayward Wind

A next of kin
To the Wayward Wind
