Well, I was standing on a corner at the flat out in Marv...? in Nashville, 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 or coffee And I met a good buddy instead We moved across the river for a shot of white lightning that the moose 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 there and the 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 lot 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.
