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
