Oh the
Wayward wind
Is a restless
Wind
A restless wind
That yearns to
Wander
And he was born
The next of kin
The next of kin
To the
Wayward wind
In a lonely shack
By a
Railroad track
He spent his
Younger days
And I guess
The sound
Of the outward
Bound
Made him a slave
To his wanderin'
Ways
Oh the
Wayward wind
Is a restless
Wind
A restless wind
That yearns to
Wander
And he was born
The next of kin
The 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
The next of kin
To the
Wayward wind
The next of kin
To the wayward
Wind
