Oh, the wayward wind, is a restless wind
A restless wind, that yearns to wander
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin,
To the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave, to my wand’ring ways
Oh, the wayward wind, is a restless wind
A restless wind, that yearns to wander
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin,
To the wayward wind
To the wayward wind
To the wayward wind
Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we’d never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
She’s now alone with a broken heart
i am sorry to say - as a Gene Vincent fan - the best rockabilly vers. of this song came from "TOOTER BOATMAN"
this is an unissued early 60s track on Sonet 807 (LP) (Sweden, 1980)
Roland Johansson thanks for the imfo without people like you the histoty of a song and artist is lost. It was great Gene and Eddie were such good friends .
Absolutely one of the very best voices ever recorded. And yes-it is a great sound. It is Johnny Meeks on guitar
and you´ll also hear Eddie Cochran singing bass vocal
