Let the Four Winds Choose

North south east or west

I just can't figure which a way is best

I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose

I just wait and let the four winds choose

Well I blew up north to a mining town

I met a little gal thought I'd settle down

She offered me love with a silver and gold

But the north wind came and my feet got cold

North south east or west

I just can't figure which a way is best

I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose

I just wait and let the four winds choose

Well I roamed down south to Lousiann'

I won me a rig from a wildcat man

But I'm glad I left when the first wind came

When next three winds brought a hurricane

North south east or west

I just can't figure which a way is best

I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose

I just wait and let the four winds choose

Well I went back east to the Hudson Bay

I found me a place I thought I'd like to stay

But I smelt the salt from the ocean breeze

I wound up a sailin' on the seven seas

North south east or west

I just can't figure which a way is best

I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose

I just wait and let the four winds choose

Well an ill wind a blew me a way out west

Across the desert and the mountain crest

Over one more hill I'm bound to find

The very same thing I left behind

North south east or west

I just can't figure which a way is best

I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose

I just wait and let the four winds choose

Now when I die don't bury me

Hang me high in a tall tall tree

My bones won't rest in the ground below

They just gotta move when the four winds blow

North south east or west

I just can't figure which a way is best

I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose

Just hang me high let the four winds choose

North south east or west

Hang me high let the four winds choose

North south east or west

Hang me high let the four winds choose

North south east or west

Hang me high let the four winds choose
