"Let The Four Winds Choose" lyrics - HANK THOMPSON

North south east or west
I just can't figure which a way is best
I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose
I just wait and let the four winds choose

Well I blew up north to a mining town
I met a little gal thought I'd settle down
She offered me love with a silver and gold
But the north wind came and my feet got cold

North south east or west...

Well I roamed down south to Lousiann
I won me a rig from a wildcat man
But I'm glad I left when the first wind came
Whe next three winds brought a hurricane

North south east or west...

Well I went back east to the Hudson Bay
I found me a place I thought I'd like to stay
But I smelt the salt from the ocean breeze
I wound up a sailin' on the seven seas

North south east or west...

Well an ill wind a blew me a way out west
Across the desert and the mountain crest
Over one more hill I'm bound to find
The very same thing I left behind

North south east or west...

Now when I die don't bury me
Hang me high in a tall tall tree
My bones won't rest in the ground below
They just gotta move when the four winds blow

North south east or west...
North south east or west...
