Never Did No Wanderin’ Lyrics by The Folksmen

A Mighty Wind - The Album

2003

My mama was the cold north wind
My daddy was the son of a railroad
Man from west of hell
Where the trains don't even run
Never heard the whistle of a southbound freight
Or the singin' of it's drivin' wheel
No I, never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
They say the highways just one big road
And it goes from here to there
And they say, you carry a heavy load
When you're rollin' down the line somewhere
Never seen the dance of the telephone poles
As they go whizzin' by
No I, never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
Never did no wanderin' high
Never did no wanderin' low
Now a sailor's life is a life for him
But it never was for me
And I never soared where the hawk may soar
Or see what the hawk might see
Never hiked to Heaven on a mountain trail
Never rode on a river's rage
No I, never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
Never did no wanderin' after all
