Bound to Roam

Darlin’ Sarah, you know I’m leaving

I’m 21 and bound to roam

I’ve got a pistol and a greenback dollar

Fare thee well, I’ll ride alone

Willie my darlin’, don’t leave me standing

You know I’ll gladly be your bride

I’ve got a dagger and a silver dollar

Ride away and you’re bound to die

Love it changes like the seasons

Steal your heart like an old freight train

Leaves a young heart cold and wanting

Comes and goes like a summer rain

Darlin’ Willie come down with me

To the river … one last time

I’ve got treasures for you only

Pleasures for you there to find

Oh dear Sarah, you know I love you

In your trust I do reside

I’ll go with you down to the river

Take my hand, you’ll be my guide

Love it changes like the seasons

Steal your heart like an old freight train

Leaves a young heart cold and wanting

Comes and goes like a summer rain

Darlin’ Willie, take my hand now

Let’s go down to the water’s edge

Wade on in … feel the water

Wrap around and take us in

Oh dear Sarah, I’m so scared now

The water’s rising and I can’t swim

Hold my hand and I’ll go with you

Sink on down to the promised land

Love it changes like the seasons

Steal your heart like an old freight train

Leaves a young heart cold and wanting

Comes and goes like a summer rain
