Careless Weed

Jimmy Webb

[Verse 1]
The wind is blowin'
The farmer is sewin' now
And soon you'll be growin'
To seed, yes, and goin'

[Chorus]
Oh, careless weed
Rise beside the road and sing to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
And livin' without need, careless weed

[Verse 2]
So grow beneath the bridge
And grow you in the fence row, now
But God help you in the farmer's field 'cause
He will make you weep with his hoedown, now

[Chorus]
Oh, careless weed
From across the river bed you're callin' me
To be where roads and rivers lead
And lovin' without need, careless weed

[Bridge]
I'll lean on my hoe and stare instead
Because I know
I ain't really goin' nowhere
Oh, nowhere at no map

[Verse 3]
The mare, she's foalin'
The tumbleweeds are rollin', now
Movin' down the line
And leavin' tracks to follow and read

[Chorus]
Oh, careless weed
Stand beyond the hills and call to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
And livin' without need, careless weed
