[Verse 1]
Em D Em G - F#m11
My mother was the cold north wind, my daddy was the s-o-n,
Em D C Bm Em
of a railroad man from west of Hell where the trains don't even run
G Em G
Never heard the whistle of a southbound freight or the singing of
Bm
its driving wheel, no I,
[Chorus]
Em D
Never did no wanderin'
Em G
Never did no wanderin'
Em Bm Em
Never did no wanderin' after all.
Lyrics:
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
They say they highways just one big road,
And it goes from here to there,
And they say you carry a heavy load,
When you're rolling down the line somewhere
[Chorus]
(same as above)
Never seen the dance of the telephone poles,
As they go whizzin' by,
No I, never did not wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
A Em
Never did no wanderin'.....high!
A Bm
Never did no wanderin'.....low!
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
Now a sailor's life is a life for him,
But it never was for me,
And I never soared where they hawk may soar,
Or see what the hawk might see,
[Chorus]
(same as above)
Never hiked to heaven on a mountain trail,
Never rode on a river's rage....
No I, never did not wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
Never did not wanderin'
Never did not wanderin'
Never did not wanderin' after all
