The Wind Blew Cold
Well, I was standing on a corner at the Flatiron Building in Asheville, North Caroline
Waiting for a woman that was putting me down and leaving me way behind
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold.
I walked around the corner to have a cup of coffee
And I met a good buddy instead
we moved across the river for a shot of white lightning it moves me out of my head
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold.
I can't forget, that lonesome day
Nothing seemed to go my way
I got put down, by the woman I love
And the wind blew cold lord, lord, the wind blew cold.
Started walking and I thumbed across the Hotspring Mountains and to Knoxville Tennessee
I hear a freight train, was a-landing before the wind blow
And no one talking to me
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold
A couple of fellows and a log truck moving
Took me to the Tennessee line
We got to talking and a-drinking over troubles
On a bottle of home made wine
And the wind was cold, the wind blew cold
I can't forget, that lonesome day
Nothing seemed to go my way
I got put down, by the woman I love
And the wind blew cold lord, lord, the wind blew cold
And the wind blew cold lord, lord, the wind blew cold.
