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