Careless Weed

Intro: verse 1 The wind is blowin', the farmer is sowin' now And soon you'll be going to seed, yes and growing oh, Careless Weed Rise beside the road and sing to me To be where roads and rivers lead And living without greed Careless Weed verse 2 So grow beneath the bridge and grow you in the fence row now But God help you in the farmers field 'cause he will make you weep, with his hoe-down now, Oh, Careless Weed, from across the river bed you’re calling to me To be where roads and rivers lead In love and without need Careless Weed verse 3 I lean on my hoe and stare and stare, because I know I ain't really going nowhere, oh, Nowhere And the mare, the mare, she's foalin', the tumbleweeds are rollin' now, Movin' down the line and leavin' tracks for the wind to read Oh, Careless Weed, stand beyond the hills and call to me To be where roads and rivers lead Loving without need careless weed And living without greed Careless Weed
