Patsy Cline - The Wayward Wind Lyrics
Written by herb newman and stan lebowsky(as recorded by eddy arnold, february 23, 1962)Oh, the wayward wind is a restless windA restless wind that yearns to wanderAnd I was born the next of kinThe next of kin to the wayward windIn a lonely shack by a railroad trackI spent my younger daysAnd I guess the sound of the outward boundMade me a slave to my wandring waysAnd the wayward wind is a restless windA restless wind that yearns to wanderAnd I was born the next of kinThe next of kin to the wayward windOh I met a girl in a border townI vowed wed never partTho I tried my best to settle downShes now alone with a broken heartAnd the wayward wind is a restless windA restless wind that yearns to wanderAnd I was born the next of kinThe next of kin to the wayward windThe next of kin to the wayward wind(as recorded by patsy cline, 8/17/61)(chorus)Oh, the wayward wind is a restless windA restless wind that yearns to wanderAnd he was born the next of kinThe next of kin to the wayward windIn a lonely shack by a railroad trackHe spent his younger daysAnd I guess the sound of the outward boundMade him a slave to his wandrin ways(repeat chorus)Oh, I met him there in a border townHe vowed wed never partTho he tried his best to settle downNow Im alone with a broken heart(repeat chorus)The next of kin to the wayward wind
