E                  A        E  
Ride the blue wind high and free  
E                       A   E  
She'll lead you down to misery  
E              A            E      
Leave you low, come time to go  
 E        A              E     
Alone and low as low can be  
  
  
If I had a nickel I'd find a game  
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain  
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry  
And lay me down dissatisfied  
  
Tell my Sister I said so long  
Tell my mother I did no wrong  
Tell my brother to watch his own  
Tell my friends to mourn me none  
  
Solo  
  
Accordion solo  
  
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly  
Eyes to laugh and lips to cry  
A restless tongue to classify  
All born to grow and grown to die  
  
I'm chained upon the face of time  
Feelin' full of foolish rhyme  
There ain't no dark till something shines  
I'm bound to leave this dark behind  
  
  
Ride the blue wind high and free  
It'll lead you down through misery  
Leave you low, come time to go  
Alone and low as low can be
