By Townes Van Zandt



Ride The Blue Wind High And Free

She'll Lead You Down Through Misery

Leave You Low, Come Time To Go

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



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



So Tell My Baby I Said So Long

Tell My Mother I Did No Wrong

Tell My Brother To Watch His Own

And Tell My Friends To Mourn Me None



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

She'll Lead You Down Through Misery

Leave You Low, Come Time To Go

Alone And Low As Low Can Be
