On the Lonesome Wind

There’s a wolf howlin’ in the darkness

Night birds cryin’ around the river bend

Old lovers’ voices whisper gently through my window

Just blame it on the lonesome wind

She knew I had to keep on movin’

And her love for me she’d defend

She deserves so much more than I can give her

Shed a tear and blame it on the lonesome wind

Chorus:

Like the wind, I’ve traveled through the valleys

And climbed so many mountainsides

I’ve crossed all the great wide oceans

And like the wind, my soul will never die

So many times I’ve tried to settle down

But there’s just no use to prete3nd

When I die won’t you do me just one favor

Let my ashes ride on the lonesome wind

Repeat chorus twice

And like the wind, my soul will never die.
