Careless Weed
The wind is blowin , the farmer is sowin now
And soon you ll be going to seed, yes and growing,
Oh, Careless Weed, rise beside the road and sing to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
And living without greed Careless Weed
So grow beneath the bridge and grow you in the fence row now
But God help you in the farmers field cause he will make you weep,
with his hoe-down now,
Oh, Careless Weed, from across the river bed youâre calling to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
In love and without need Careless Weed
I lean on my hoe and stare and stare,
Because I know I ain t really going nowhere,
Oh, Nowhere
And the maree, she s foalin , the tumbleweeds are rollin now,
Movin down the line and leavin tracks for the wind to read
Oh, Careless Weed, stand beyond the hills and call to me
To be where roads and rivers lead
And living without greed Careless Weed
