Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound

Original composer Tom Paxton

This particular arrangement is by Des Lindberg, a South African folk singer.



CAPO: 2nd Fret

C                  F - C           F         C     G
It's a long and dusty  road, and a hot and a heavy load
        C            F           C     G
And the folks that I meet ain't always kind
         C             F - C              F        C         G
Some are bad and some are good, some have done the best they could
          C        F       C - G    C
Some have tried to ease my troubled mind


REFRAIN:
      F              C      G         C      Em        Am
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
     F              Em     Dm        C
No I can't help but wonder where I'm bound 


I've been around this land, just doing the best I can
Trying to find what I was meant to do
And the faces that I see, look as worried as can be
And it looks like they're a-wondering too


REFRAIN:


Though I had a little girl one time, she had lips like sherry wine
She drove my poor head plumb insane
But I was too blind to see, she was drifting away from me
Now my girl is gone on the morning train


REFRAIN:


I had a buddy back home, and he started out to roam
And I hear that he's out by 'Frisco Bay
Sometimes when I've had a few, his old voice comes rumbling through
I guess I'll go and see him some old day


REFRAIN:


If you see me passing by, and you sit and you wonder why
And you think you'd like to be a rambler too
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace them up and bar the door
Thank your stars for the roof that's over you


REFRAIN: 2x
