Mama always told me Don't build your house On the shifting sands When the wind comes a' blowing The first wind that will blow Will blow it down Mama always told me Don't build your house On the shifting sands When the wind comes a' blowing The first wind that will blow Will blow it down Oh it's an endless road But I keep trying I'm going down the railroad I'm going down Where no one can find me Raise our love under a shady grove Papa always told me Girl never let your deal go down He told me Little girl don't let them steal your soul Oh it's an endless road But I keep trying I'm going down the railroad I'm going down Where no one can find me Raise our love under a shady grove Mama always told me Don't build your house On the shifting sands When the wind comes a' blowing The first wind that will blow Will blow it down Oh it's an endless road But I keep trying I'm going down the railroad I'm going down Where no one can find me Raise our love under a shady grove Mama always told me Don't build your house On the shifting sands When the wind comes a' blowing The first wind that will blow Will blow it down
