The Wind Blew Cold

Well, I was standing on a corner At a flat-ironed building in Nashville, North Carolina Waiting for a woman that was putting me down And leaving me way behind and the wind was cold, the wind blew cold I walked around the corner To have a cup of coffee and I met a good buddy instead We both crossed the river for a shot of white lightning And it moves me out of my head and the wind was cold, the wind blew cold I can't forget that lonesome day Nothing seemed to go my way I got put down by the woman I love And the wind blew cold, Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold Started walking and I thumbed across The Hotspring Mountains there in Knoxville, Tennessee I hear a freight train was a-landing before the wind blow And no one talking to me and the wind was cold, the wind blew cold A couple of fellows and a log truck moving Took me to the Tennessee line We got to talking and a-drinking over troubles On a bottle of homemade wine and the wind was cold, the wind blew cold I can't forget that lonesome day Nothing seemed to go my way I got put down by the woman I love And the wind blew cold, Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold And the wind blew cold Lord, Lord, the wind blew cold
