Harry Belafonte Windin Road Lyrics

Windin Road Lyrics

Lyrics:



Windin, windin roads a windin

Home is getting far
away

Will I see my love come springtime

Or when I am old and
gray



Long ago I took to wandering

Had to see beyond the
hill

I left my sweetheart there a waiting

Wonder if shes waiting
still



Oh I met a gal in Kansas city

Painted face and flaming
hair

She took my love and stole my money

Broke my heart and left me
there



Well I trailed her clear up to Wyoming

And one fine
day in early spring

I rode up so soft and easy

Shot and killed that
pretty thing



Now Im living in the shadows

Starting up at
every sound

Cause haunted men have rocky pillows

And bed down on
the cold, cold ground



Now my mothers prayers cant save me

And my young dreams wont come true

So set the shroud its all to
even

Cause dying is all Ive left to do



Oh its windin, windin
roads a windin

Home is getting far away

Will I see my love come
Springtime

Or when I am old and grey
