Rex's Blues Lyrics - Friends Of Mine - Ramblin' Jack Elliott

[Chorus:] 

Ride the blue wind high and free 

She'll lead you down through misery 

Leave you low, come time to go 

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 

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 

So tell my baby I said so long 

Tell my mother I did no wrong 

Tell my brother to watch his own 

And tell my friends to mourn me none 

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 

[Chorus] 

Ride the blue wind high and free 

She'll lead you down through misery 

Leave you low, come time to go 

Alone and low as low can be
