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 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 And 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 Oh i met a girl in a border town I vowed we'd never part Tho' i tried my best to settle down She's now alone with a broken heart And 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 The next of kin to the wayward wind (as recorded by patsy cline, 8/17/61) (chorus) Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind A restless wind that yearns to wander And he was born the next of kin The next of kin to the wayward wind In a lonely shack by a railroad track He spent his younger days And i guess the sound of the outward bound Made him a slave to his wand'rin ways (repeat chorus) Oh, i met him there in a border town He vowed we'd never part Tho' he tried his best to settle down Now i'm alone with a broken heart (repeat chorus) The next of kin to the wayward wind
