I Don't Know Where I'm Bound by Robert C. Heyer

I come with the seasons
I go with the wind
And I don't know where I'm bound
I work in the orchards
Pray for good weather
As I go from town to town

Sometimes I make me a dollar or two
Sometimes I don't make me none
Someday I'll make me a real good friend
Lord, I ain't ever had one

The wind's gently blowing
from out of the northwest
and the night is grey and cold
The big pines they whisper
you've got to keep moving
This life makes a young man feel so old

Winter is coming, I gotta move south
Go down to old Mexico
I'll spend all I made just making it there
and then I'll have nowhere to go

The lady from Bismark
She kissed me so sweetly and she begged me not to go
I had my doubts, but I had my reasons
and you know it hurt me so

Maybe someday I'll find my way back
Hoping that she is still there
maybe it's better to leave it alone
It's enough to know that she cared

I come with the seasons
I go with the wind
And I don't know where I'm bound
I work in the orchards
Pray for good weather
As I go from town to town

And I don't know where I'm bound
As I go from town to town
