Careless Weed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The wind is blowin' The farmer is sewin' now And soon you'll be growin' To seed, yes, and goin' [Chorus] Oh, careless weed Rise beside the road and sing to me To be where roads and rivers lead And livin' without need, careless weed [Verse 2] So grow beneath the bridge And grow you in the fence row, now But God help you in the farmer's field 'cause He will make you weep with his hoedown, now [Chorus] Oh, careless weed From across the river bed you're callin' me To be where roads and rivers lead And lovin' without need, careless weed [Bridge] I'll lean on my hoe and stare instead Because I know I ain't really goin' nowhere Oh, nowhere at no map [Verse 3] The mare, she's foalin' The tumbleweeds are rollin', now Movin' down the line And leavin' tracks to follow and read [Chorus] Oh, careless weed Stand beyond the hills and call to me To be where roads and rivers lead And livin' without need, careless weed
