Let The Four Winds Choose

Hank Thompson, Presley Lewis

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
When next three winds brought a hurricane

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
North south east or west
I just can't figure which a way is best
I'm a ramblin' man not much to lose
Just hang me high let the four winds choose

[Outro]
North south east or west
Hang me high let the four winds choose
North south east or west
Hang me high let the four winds choose
North south east or west
Hang me high let the four winds choose
