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.

 

First Verse:

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 his wandrin' ways.

 

Second Verse:

Oh I met him there in a border town,  He vowed we'd never part,

'Tho he tried his best to settle down, I'm now alone,

With a brokin heart.
