E                  A        E 
Ride the blue wind high and free 
E                       A   E 
She'll lead you down to misery 
E              A            E     
Leave you low, come time to go 
 E        A              E    
Alone and low as low can be 
 
 
If I had a nickel I'd find a game 
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain 
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry 
And lay me down dissatisfied 
 
Tell my Sister I said so long 
Tell my mother I did no wrong 
Tell my brother to watch his own 
Tell my friends to mourn me none 
 
Solo 
 
Accordion solo 
 
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly Eyes to laugh and lips to cry A restless tongue to classify All born to grow and grown to die I'm chained upon the face of time Feelin' full of foolish rhyme There ain't no dark till something shines I'm bound to leave this dark behind Ride the blue wind high and free It'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be
